Tote

Geeze, I feel silly for sitting on this project for so long, but it sure feels good to bring it out of the UFO closet. I’ve no excuse other than it required a bit of sewing.  I’m thinking that maybe watching this seasons contestants on Project Runway shot me with a dose of inspiration? Love that show!
Or maybe because I want to take it with me to Vogue Knitting Live LA next weekend? Are you going?  I’d love to meet ya for a cuppa and a chat about knitting…Anyway,
I’m happy with the long awaited results and I’ll definately enjoy using it!  More photos of the knitting/felting stages can be found over on my ravelry page or on flickr

    Love that tote!! It's looking so great and the lining matches perfectly! I only wish I could come to LA but I'm afraid it is just a little to far for me. Unfortunately we don't have that kind of events over here; guess our country is just too small! I wish you a lot of fun over there.

    Oh wow that is stunning! I too have had a few ufo's that needed some time to "cook" before finishing. They are always super worth it in the long run.
