Felted Purse!

So I finished my purse and I love it!!! It didn't take me long to make at all. If I had more time to knit I probably could have finished it in a day or so. It was also the first thing I've ever felt and I have to say that I think felting is the coolest thing ever. I cannot believe that the giant bag I knit turned into this cute little purse that you cant even see the stitches. I can't wait to but a little magnetic button to close the flap. Once I do I'll post a picture of it!!! :-)

Knitting in Public

I just thought I'd write just a quick little something since I haven't written in awhile. Recently I've gone back to school for my last semester in college. I have been so stressed out with doing my internship and working all at the same time. So I've been keeping up with my knitting to keep me sane. So since I'm not home often anymore I now knit in public. I've knit in front of the kindergartens I teach and I love seeing how amazed they are when I tell them about what I'm making. I also get a kick out of when I knit at work (I work at a tanning salon). Today I got a lot of comments. I was asked what I was making and how did I learn. I thought the funniest comment was about my age. I find that many people are surprised to see a 22 year old working at a tanning salon and knitting behind the counter haha. I love it. Right now I'm working on my first purse. I'm going to felt it when I'm done, I'm wicked siked to see how it turns out. I'll make sure to post pictures! :-)
