My daughter's birthday combined with my destashing efforts led me to think up felted purses for the girls' goodie bags. Since our theme was "Sweetheart Party", I started with a heart motif knit on straight needles. After two, I realized I needed to switch to circulars to make my deadline. I deleted the heart and hoped to find an embellishment later. I used
Lion Brand's Felted Trick or Treat Bag as a starting point and added a striped bottom and a self-charted heart motif.
After eight bags, many ribbon handle auditions, and a bit of painting by my daughter, I give you the Sweetheart Eight. And yes, I'm making you look at every. last. one.
This is the back of one of the hearts - she made faces for her friends, each as different as the bags and girls they were going to.
All ready for the party!
Such a fun project!
You are one amazing knitter! the needles must be clicking all of the time! Cute Bags!
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOWIE! Destashing has never looked so beautiful or as cute! And you did this for all of the partygoers? I am such a bad mom I did not even have a party for my kids this year--of course, it was crunchtime at school and work and with Xmas...but they are still asking me for parties. And here you are making personalized bags?
ReplyDeleteIf I lean really close to the screen will your supermommy powers rub off on me?
Wow, this is such a great idea! I'm definitely going to have to keep this in mind for my daughter's next birthday... They all look amazing!
