This is was a birthday present for my sis this week. You know, my younger, cuter, skinnier sis with the better hair…. :o)
I could go on, but I love her anyway – mostly because she still loves me after we tortured her as a child by shutting her in our room alone and holding the door closed while playing the “wolf” music from Peter and the Wolf, and hiding the arms and legs of her favorite doll, Angelique. I’m totally making my brother take some of the blame for this, I’m sure it wasn’t all my idea.
She really is the best sis – I’m very blessed.
Onto the purse facts –
Pattern: Sophie
Yarn: Casdade 220, Heathers 9412, one skein
Needles: Size 10-1/2
I love the way the colors in the yarn felted… just what I was hoping for.
And, she likes it! Happy Birthday Week Sis!!
BTW…. go check out Kaity’s shop – she’s just added some new self-striping sock yarns!

Thanks! I love you too, my smarter, wiser, and way-more-talented big sis! I love the purse, too.
That’s a great bag! I have some yarn similar to that and it never dawned on me that it would felt multi-colored like that. I’m not sure what I expected it to do. 🙂 But that looks really cool.
Cute bag!
Lucky sister. Is is amazing how the colors felted together.

I’m not used to high speed internet, so when I tried to correct a typo in the first post, it was too late and I wound up posting a second time. Oh, well. High speed is a blessing. You just don’t know!!
Heh. She’s lucky she survived “the bus”! And yes, you’re very fortunate to have such a great sister!
Happy Birthday, Barb!
Sisters are the best…and hopefully you can laugh about the good, the bad, and the ugly now that you’re grown up. Lovely bag.
What a cute Sophie!
I love the way that felted! Happy birthday to your sister 🙂
I loved Peter and the Wolf as a kid! But you’re right, the wolf part was scary.
Your sister will love using her bag.
I like the way it felted also. Very nice. And I bet she’s pleased to get anything you’ve made. I just had my youngest sis up from Florida for a visit. Had the best time and she walked away with stuff I’ve made too. It wasn’t even her birthday, LOL!
That’s a great bag! The yarn was a perfect choice!
