The last of the yarn salvaged from Anhinga after I finished my vest. I even had to rip out a swatch to finish the last 2 inches of the unfelted band, so it’s official. No more grey lamb’s pride in the stash.

Great pattern with simple execution. I took a cheap razor to the bag after it dried and sheered off the halo. The resulting fabric is much more aesthetically pleasing and much (MUCH) less likely to shed everywhere.

I machine felted the bag and then cleaned up some areas with hand felting--the base of the bag felts more slowly since it’s 2 strands held together and needed some mild TLC before the stitch definition reached zero.

I still need to pick up handles and fabric for lining, but the knitting, felting, and blocking is complete and took less than 24 hours.
