Owl Bag Class – Finished Projects!
In a fun turn of events, both of the students in my class decided not to do owl bags, and just to use the pattern to make a messenger bag. Ironically, I’m the only one who showed up for the last class with an un-felted bag (see giant one to the left, back row).
They all came out so beautifully, with some unexpected twists . . . the bag handles (woven to 120″) were a little long, and the flap on the lilac/teal bag (far right) was a little short. I think the pattern needs some tweaking to accommodate the yarn, which is easy to over-stretch on the warping board.
For the sake of science, I have taken the fringes left on my flap, and braided half of them (left), and fringe-twisted the other half (right), and will leave them on during the felting process to see how those two preparations turn out.
