Christmas Exchange Gift

Guess who ended up with this family exchange gift? Because we have a very large family - 50 of us when everyone is present - females bring a gift for a female and males for male. Then we play a game where a story is read and every time the word "right" is mentioned, we pass the gifts to the right. When "left" is mentioned, you guessed it - they go to the left. The game goes really fast and the gifts end up who knows where. If a male gets a female gift, someone just trades with him, etc. My own daughter who has learned to do felted bags and has done a few for Christmas gifts this year ended up with this gift. I also put some bath and body stuff in the package. Not a problem - her favorite color is purple and she loved it. The actual color of the finished bag is more like the purple in the pre-felting picture. I couldn't get the post-felting picture to come out the right purple.


Knit with a double strand of yarn, one strand Noro Kureyon and one strand Lamb's Pride - love that combination! Pattern is from the Pursenalities book and relatively easy to do. Felting took about 20 minutes in the washer and 3 or 4 days to dry as it's been a little cool.
