My Booga Bag

[zinniz]

I just finished a Booga Bag out of Noro Kureyon color 159.



Before felting it was big and floppy. It looked stunning as a hat. Brent can attest as he saw me modeling it last night :)



Then after 3 runs through the washing machine it was all felted! Here it is as I'm blocking it on a lovely grout box. Amazing what you'll find when you're looking for a box of *just* the right size to block it. Heh. This was perfect though. The instructions say it could take a day or two to dry completely so now I must be patient before I can add the cord for a handle and actually use it :)

That is really pretty. How long did it take you to make the cord?

I think it took a couple hours. It went faster than I expected and I was watching TV the whole time.

oh it looks so much better when felted!

i'm jealous of you, i've always wanted one--guess now i have to go get the materials to make it.

I was surprised how much a difference to the whole look the felting made, but you're right. Much better! Getting Noro Kureyon is a little expensive but gosh, I can't imagine the colors turning out more amazing so I think it's a worthwhile purchase. I have seen it on Ebay in sets of 3 skeins so it's just enough for this project. I think good deals can be gotten that way sometimes.

Wow, that is really pretty. Love the vibrant colors! :)

So, is a booga bag basically a large bag/purse kind of a thing, or is it for something specific? I've never heard of it, so I don't know.

The girl who designed it named it that. It's a smallish tote bag or a largish purse. Whatever way you think of it!
