Pink Hobo Bag Felted and We're Off

Here it is, the Hobo Pink Striped Felted Bag.

The bag felted really well and the size improved tremendously. Un-felted this was the biggest bag I have ever knitted and I was afraid it was going to turn out much larger than I wanted it to be. Luck was with me and it is a perfect size to be used for:


We're off this morning to take our friend Cameron to the Presby Iris Gardens. He was invited to come and help identify some of their historic iris. Cameron is rally excited over this trip and over what an honorary invitation this is for him. We are excited for him and so pleased for him to be ask to participate in this. Cameron has a large historic iris garden at his home and a huge one at his cousin's property in the country. He is responsible for much of Mr. Ro's training in the iris world and has shared many of his rare historic iris with us hoping they will be carried on for another two hundred years. Yes, we have some iris in our garden that were hybridized over two hundred years ago, isn't that amazing. Anyway - we're off this morning and DH and I are staying with his Navy buddy and his wife. We've visited back and forth always and we're looking forward to seeing them again. The bag is for them, don't you think it is just perfect? I love it and they will too; and it can be used again for the same idea, used as a work tote or even as a 'pocketbook'.
