Those are positively stunning! Is there a pattern to share? Love them and the colors. I am in AWE!
Thank you for the nice words! The bag on the left is my own design- we affectionately call it The Bologna Bag, because it loooked like a HUGE piece of bologna before it was felted. The bag in the middle is made with Kureyon, made in 4 mitered squares and folded with the points facind in to make the bag shape and the bag on the right is also made with Kureyon and a strand of wool. It is a bag called the Katrina bag and I think is from Fiber Trends. It is made using a simple fair Isle pattern- turned out extremely well I think. Google Katrina Bag pattern and see what you find. Thanks again for the compliments and for serving our country. I am proud of all you do for us!
OOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPS!!!
I stand corrected. The bag on the right is the Kristina Bag (guess I had the hurricane on my mind still) and it is from Black Sheep Bags. Sorry! It all becomes a blur after a while.
Knit on!
