mitered square bag

Sometimes you come home from a hard day and the best way to relax is to felt something. This is a hand-felted bag i made for my new year's trip to NYC (thanks to Jay for modelling).
It is made with Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky, and is basically constructed of two mitered squares sewn together. I also did a cool little stranded design on the shoulder strap, which you cannot see here. I did most of the knitting at my dad's over christmas, and then felted it after a really bad day at work. I felted it in a two large bowls in my kitchen: one with almost-boiling water and one with ice water. It was fun, a made a huge fuzzy watery mess.
