Knitty's Brown Bag

I knitted the Brown Bag from Knitty. I couldn't find the yarn it called for locally and I was too cheap to order it on line and pay for shipping. Instead I used a double strand of Patons Classic Merino Wool in Dark Natural Mix. I was hoping to find a clasp similar to the one used in Knitty, but the pickins were slim around here. The one I used I found at Hobby Lobby. I wanted a magnetic type closure, but all I could find were plain jane. This was my first successful felting project. I wish I had remembered to take a picture before felting. It looked like a giant bowl and I was worried. It felted up a lot better than I expected.
