My finished French Market Bag,

My finished French Market Bag, from the Knitty.com Knitalong:



  • Before Felting




  • Felted and Blocked




  • Empty




  • Cat Bed




  • With Stuff 1




  • With Stuff 2




    • Notes:



    It ended up much floppier than I expected, considering the photographs of other finished bags, but I decided not to re-felt - the sides, which I knitted to not-quite-ten inches, shrank to abour 6", and I don't really want it smaller than that, as right now it's the perfect size for a covered dish or to take to the grocery. The fabric has a nice, dense texture with very little stitch definition (it actually seems more apparent in the photo - I wonder why?). While I was a little disappointed initially that it didn't end up stiffer, considering it's my very first non long-rectangular-piece-of-material knitting project, I'm happy with it, although if I were to try again, I'd go for either a double strand stitch or a thicker yarn.
