So - I finished the bag, and felted it - but I forgot to take pictures in the intermediate stage of knitted but unfelted! - now I feel like an idiot! - It's at home on a combination of a bowl from the kitchen, and a bunch of socks, and my bedroom wastepaper basket, drying to the shape I want it, it came out very nicely even for my first ever attempt at felting, although I let the washing machine rinse it, which I think was a mistake, if I had gone ahead and rinsed it by hand that last inch of shrink wouldn't have happened...! - so - photo's when I get home, I promise.
Also sock continues being cheerful, and I started a new project, clapotis from knitty... in silk - I just hope it is going to behave when I start letting the ladders run - it occurred to me rather late last night that the silk may slide too easily... The yarn is Regal Silk handpainted, by Art Yarns, it's really nice to work with...

Clapotis is a great project. I made mine from a gorgeous wool/silk combo. It's great fun, too... I'm sure you'll do well with the silk.
