Booga Bags

[neotoma]

Well, being out of work again has me finishing various projects, and starting new ones.
For example,

	Booga Bags Two simpe bags, one made from Noro Kureyon (color 152) and the other from Karaoke (color 303 -- Purplexed). They were knit according to the Booga Bag pattern, and then fulled in the washing machine.
	Unfulled bags The two knit bags, before fulling.

Some of you might remember me working on the green bag at Con.Txt -- it took about a day to do the body of the bag, plus a few more hours for the i-cord. I waited until I had the purple bag finished before fulling them both.

Karaoke fulls *very* fast and hard compared to Noro Kureyon. That surprised me, since it is 50% wool and 50% soy silk and Noro Kureyon is 100% wool. It also finished slightly smaller, even though I knit the Karaoke on size 10 needles, and the Kureyon on size 8s.

Oooh, very, very pretty bags - especially the purple one :o)

See, that's the really nice thing about varigated yarns that have *long* runs of color -- they look absolutely amazing when knit up.

The purple yarn was as accident, actually -- I was at the local farmer's market, went into a gift shop looking for a toy for my brother's new baby, and found that they carried a small selection of yarn. That it was a brand as uncommon as South West Trading Company was just a bonus. I'm probably going to give that bag to my neice, if she's still into purples.
