This is my second Sophie Bag, made for my niece Candice. She will be visiting us this weekend from Washington D.C. and I can’t wait to give her this early Christmas present. I think I might be addicted to felting…

Speaking of gifts, I needed to get the perfect holiday cards to go with each handmade item. Check out these cute ones I picked up from Target – they say “Have yourself and very stylish holiday!”
Stay tuned for more pictures of knitted gifts and maybe a few yo-yos! Aren’t they just the cutest!
Very nice bag! It will make a perfect gift. The felting process is amazing isn’t it? Total transformation.
My sister loves to felt, I’ve never tried it. I love the bag and the cards!
Yes, felting is totally addictive. That would explain the bins and bins of wool I have in my sewing room. 🙂
I love the bag!
Ok this one is pretty cool. I’ll have to show Vanessa who didn’t believe a knitted bag could turn to velvet. Ha Ha I win!
LOVE the bag!! I have no idea what “felting” is, but the bag is really cute.
The cards are adorable….gotta love Target, my favorite store.
I *love* that bag. The purple/grey combo is awesome. 🙂 I like the twisted strap. too.
Love the bag and the cards look very stylish.
Love the colors of your bag.
Thanks for the tip about yo-yo’s. I had never heard of them. Now I can’t wait to make them with my kids.
I want to make this version of bag (I’ve already made a different one from a book) but I’m no being able to follow the pattern very well. Can you point me to some tips to interpret it –like the i-cord directions and what “pm” (pass marker?) and “BO” (no guess on this one) mean? Thanks! My hands are itching to try something else—loved the first felting experience and want to do it again! My ds’s polar bear is almost complete and our referral is 2 months away so I’ve got time to spare!
Love the stripes! Yes, felting is fun.
My mom just starting felting & I love it! I can’t wait to make my own! Yours is beautiful!
