HAND KNIT and then FELTED bag - Beach Glass Hobo Handbag
Description
Color scheme taken from my love of beach glass.Knit using my original Hobo pattern.
This bag was used as a model for my Stitches South trade show in April. It generated a lot of sales for my hobo pattern.
How is it knit? First, I knit up a giant bag which takes me around 12 to 15 hours. You could put a small child into it once it has been seamed together....seriously! After the knitting is done, I toss it into the washer for shrinking. The hot water, detergent and agitation transforms the bag from a stretchy over-sized behemoth into a soft, very pliable yet dense fabric that is stain resistant and very durable.
The bag has a dark chocolate brown handcrafted & hand-dyed leather strap. Colored exclusively with vegetable dyes. It is designed with terrific criss-cross stitching for a sensational finished seam. Accented with silver-toned metal hardware.
Hand wash and air dry. Use an old razor to shave any fuzzies off.
You'll have a lot of fun toting this bag around town:) The brown button was recycled from an old coat.
Measures about:
8" h x 12" w x 6" d. Its fat base will resist tipping over too:)
If you want to knit your own, please see my HOBO pattern listing.
