I have been de-stashing and this bag was a great project to rid my self of many yards of yarn. I bought the yarn at the Maryland Sheep and Wool and I dyed it with cochineal. Then I attempted to knit myself a vest and ended up frogging that. Then I took half of the dyed yarn and put it in an iron bath and the yarn came out a purple. I knit this bag in four days! I started at the base and holding two strands of the purple I knitted until I got partway up the side. Then I switched to one strand of pink and the other purple. Then I finished with two strands of pink. I am showing before felting and after felting here. Now I need a very big button. Does anyone out there have one? If so please bring it to the S&B!
