Tunisian stitch felted bag

I just learned how to make the Tunisian stitch (in Swedish it's called krokning) and since I already had yarn enough to make a bag I improvised one. First Tunisian stitched the bag and saw it all together and then I tossed it into the washing machine (40˚C) along with a couple of towels and some soap instead of laundry detergents. This is a way of felting which I've used before when making tea cozies, slippers and a couple of other things. When I took it out I added buttons and filled the bag with stuff in plastic bags to get the shape I wanted. I think it turned out just the way I wanted it.


Bag with a touch of steam punk
