Handles

I have felted my bag. I had to run it through twice to get it as felted as I wanted. My husband thought I was nuts for purposely shrinking something. How is everyone planning on attaching the handles? I am new to felting and not sure of the best way to do it.

Great job!! I have to felt mine, I was waiting for laundry day, so I can toss it in with jeans :). I was going to just poke the handles through like the instructions said, but if anyone else has a better suggestion I may just try it out.

Every day is laundry day at my house lol I get the poking through but do you just tie a knot to hold it in? I am not sure that would work too well.

I love it! I think if you tie a knot it should hold, as long as the bag isn't too weighted down. Or you could just sew them on inside...

Wow, I really love how the pink pops against the grey. That's a beautiful combination.

And I haven't decided what to do about the handles - I need to finish knitting first - but I'm kind of worried about just poking holes in the sides. What if they are too big

It is not pink it is red.

Love it! I finished my icords tonight, I'm going to sew in ends and felt tomorrow!

Yup, it sure is red. I was using someone else's computer, and the color was off. But I do love the combination of the bright color with a neutral.
