I found this cute pattern in Ravelry. It's called, "F506 Gina Hexagon Felt Bag" by Vanessa Ewing. It was fun to knit. I didn't follow the instructions for hand felting. I just threw it in the washing machine (bagged of course) and let it go through one hot wash/cold rinse cycle and it came out perfect. It dried in just hours thanks to the heat wave we are currently experiencing.
You can find the pattern here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/f506-gina-hexagon-felt-bag
You don't usually find such cute patterns for free.

The owner of the Blue Fish Gallery did not keep my Fish Bag for herself. It is currently hanging on the gallery's wall.
How cool is that!
She asked if I would be willing to knit another blue and white fish bag and gave me a ceramic button, she had made, to use on it. I am currently working on it. It will have bigger fish and a bit of gold/orange on it as those are the gallery colours. Rest assured, I will show it off when it's finished.

Should I start labeling my knitting articles as Arts & Culture instead of Hobbies & Games? I think so.

I'm off to go soak my head to reduce the swelling. ;o)

I do love the look of felted things. They look vintage, then.

I love the felted bags. Art and culture is appropriate.

What a lovely felted bag! It's fun to see the before and after felting, and very interesting how the star design comes out in the final product. Yes, Arts and Culture is more fitting!
