The lighting is not great in this shot but it really is heart-breakingly cute (how could a new-born sized kimono, not be?). This one's going to the Warm Hands Network.
The bag below is from a free pattern from Black Sheep Bags. It's called a Booga Bag and I stumbled on it when I was yearning for a felted bag (seriously, I was. They're strong and light. And I think they're cool).
Since I first stumbled on the pattern, it's become a bit of a knitting craze. If you feel like it, go to Flickr and do a search for 'Booga' you get 2,563 results and the overwhelming majority are pictures of this bag.
This is what it looked like before I felted it:
Maybe I shouldn't have run the bag through the whole wash cycle. Thoughts?
I like how it looks, though and the way the colours blended together. And it will be a nice light purse.
I'll post more pics once I make the holes for the straps and add them on.
You have no idea how much clutter I had to move out of the way to take EACH of these pictures.

I am absolutely jealous. I heart the kimono.
Fine, fine. ::pout:: I'll go finish my first scarf now. Then you can laugh! :)

LOVE! the tiny bag (check)
does the kimono come in MY size? (_____)
Very cool! Great colors on all.
Are you taking orders? I love everything...although I am out of the baby game. Very nice.
It's not you - a Booga Bag isn't very big. I made one out of Noro Kureyon, and it's big enough to carry around a sock-in-progress.
But the felting process sure was fun - it felted! It's a miracle!
