Not long ago, I took a field trip with my knitting friends up into the hills about 45 minutes from here. We went to a woman's studio where she hand dyes yarn. She had some beautiful stuff, but most of it was lighter weight yarn. I bought three skeins of sport weight from her, determined to find something to do with it.
I decided the colors looked like a Hobbit bag. I have never used fine yarn for one before, so I decided to go for broke and try it.
Here is the result... sorry about the plastic bags, it's still drying.

I have decided I will probably never get tired of knitting felted bags. EVER.
There is just something so satisfying about them. Useful, whimsical little things. Especially if talented people keep dying up inspiring yarns!
