For this one I chose to use JoAnne's Sensations Kashmira. It's spongy and squishy to the touch and was strange but nice to fondle while knitting it up. The colors are bright and summery. So much different from the other wools that I've felted with.
I couldn't help but wonder if it would really felt. It didn't have the normal loose fibers that look like they would easily grab on to it's neighbors. But it turned out better than I could imagine! It's a bit thinner felt than Patons' wool and I really dig it. It's going to be great to tote around this spring and summer!
For those of you on Ravelry, feel free to check out the details there. This also satisfies another check off of my Mission Possible list. That's 4 out of 12. Not so bad for 3 months so far. I guess I'm ahead of the game a bit.

Nothing wrong with bags being your thing!! Socks too!! :o)
We all need mindless kntis every once and while!!
My thing are mini/fast accessories! LOL Haven't you picked up on that already?? Haha! I just did! ;op I have come to terms with it!
The bag is PERFECT for spring/summer!
I have never heard of that yarn before either!
You will look great carrying it!!
OMG! Gorgeous and what fun to knit!
Gorgeous! I am in awe of your talents. Holy needles, Batman, you rock on both socks and bags!
That turned out beautiful! The colors are perfect together. :-)
Oh that looks really great! You did an awesome color combination there :D I need to knit a bag soon - it's been far too long!
The bag looks great! I love the colors and I think it came out just amazing!
Love the colors, love the photo with the sunglasses. Makes me wish is wasn't 40-something outside!
Oh my gosh..............you have inspired me to knit a bag again! I am going to get the yarn at lunch today to knit one!! :) You color choices are so great and I love how the yarn felted! :)
Sooo beautiful, I just new it when I saw you originally post it... those colors look so great together! :-)
very nice Wendya, It looks fabulous
You are right, this is the weirdest feeling yarn! It feels like stringy sponges (I know there is no such thing but...). I love knitting something with big needles again. I have been using size 0's and 1's on booties and socks so much that I feel like I am knitting with baseball bats! I just love the colors and can't wait until mine is done! :) Thanks for the idea!
I LOVE that tote! wonderful colors. I'll have to check out that wool...as IF I need more!
