My rainbow ruffle bag! I finally finished it. It's from the same pattern as the bag I made for my mom's birthday except this time around it took a bit longer to finish because I wasn't pressed for time. It's still a ridiculously easy pattern, though, and I highly recommend it! I used Knit Picks Palette because I preferred the way it felted over Wool of the Andes (I used both for my mom's bag) and I'm really glad I did-- it makes a much looser, more casually-felted bag (if that's even a thing) whereas WotA felts much stiffer and shrinks more. So instead of a structured bag I've ended up with a felted tote, which I love.
I'm afraid I don't have much to say about the outfit except that I've worn it (what feels like) a billion times since putting it together and just now managed to photograph it. I've been throwing this trench over everything. It's really only weather-appropriate for a little while so I should probably go ahead and tire myself of it (although really it was only usable for a little while in St. Louis last year-- I'm sure with our strange weather in NC I'll be able to wear it all winter.)
