Wobbly

Well, the Wobbly Circles Tote is done and is now drying.  This is not the best picture of it, but I did want to show how the instarsia turned out.  Funny that Estella just asked me about the progress on this tote.

I wanted to learn how to do intarsia knitting, so I'm happy with it in that respect.  And I still like the colors (even though they don't photograph correctly).  I'm even happy with the size (it's smaller than it's supposed to be).  If I like all these things, why am I not wild about this tote?  Am I "felted out?"  Or maybe I'm just anxious to start a sweater.  I really want to knit a sweater!

Regardless of why I am tired of this project, I think I will giving felting a rest after I finish the Noni bag (or maybe even before).  Actually the Noni bag may be a Noni bucket/bowl for my knitting/sewing room.  I'm not seeing it as a purse right now.

Great bag! I'm very impressed by your intarsia skills. I completely understand the feeling of liking a project but kinda getting sick of it. Last night I was finishing my socks and just got so sick of it that I couldn't finish - even though all I had left to do was graft the toes.

It's VERY cool, Beth! I bow to you, my very short try with intarsia was nothing but frustrating!

Love it! It looks wonderful. You should be proud. Thanks for sharing.

The intarsia felting turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I love the circles.

I love the tote! I think it looks great, and you ARE ready to start a sweater!

On yesterday's post- some zoos also do a lot for conservation, too. I didn't know that until I went to a talk put on by the zoo when I was at the university.

Wobbly looks great! I love it. You are totally ready for a sweater. Me, on the other hand...I am having fits with the intarsia on my Big Digger sweater. Intarsia seems to be slightly beyond my grasp.
