I made another Felted Purse using Fishermen’s Wool  by Lion Brand. The color is Birch Tweed and it only has 6 ounces of yarn in a skein whereas the others have 7 ounces. I was able to make the whole purse, and the pocket and possibly another pocket. I added another 20 rows for the handles. Before I felted it I turned the purse inside out and picked up stitches on the inside of the back and knitted a pocket to put credit cards in. When you close the flap, it closes the pocket so that they won’t fall out. When I do this again though , I will start pocket at the bottom of the purse and maybe put a flap on so things won’t be lost in it. Or it could be used for the cell phones.

Oh, and with all this felting I am really getting the laundry done. lol 🙂
