I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!

Sun Satchel a Design by Stephen West
I have to say that this was a very interesting knit project to felt. I was very happy to see that my dye job was perfect no bleeding after it got felted.
There is nothing like Alpaca to make a felted bag, it is very easy to felt and responds well to front loader washers. The Pockets came out nice, I really like the idea of having felted pockets as well..
Is a little bit big on one side on the joining band, but it will be fine. This is due to a home spun jacob alpaca blend that had too much twist . I try to take as much twist out of it as possible, and in the end it came out better than expected. I have a front loader washer and it was perfect for this. I definitely recommend this pattern for people that want to see what felting is like. Below is the before felting look hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend. Thanks for stopping by!
