FO: Booga Bag
Posted By Laura on June 27, 2007
This evening, I have finished off my Booga Bag.
Yesterday, during my ‘snow’ day, I felted it in my washing machine. It was so much fun! It came out smaller and fluffy 
Seriously, though. This was a really good, quick knit. I spent 10 days on this project, from start to finish, but I had it sitting for a couple of days waiting to felt. It has been knit using some beautiful Noro Kureyon and 6.5mm circular needles. I love the colours it has created by felting it. You couldn’t really see the stripes pre-felting, but they came out so yummy. I also thought that it would be larger than it actually is. However, it is going to make a good replacement bag for my current ‘school’ bag. Big enough for my diary and keys. That’s all that matters 
I tried to take photos of the Irish Hiking Scarf that I have started. However, the photos I took weren’t that great. It is becoming quite a quick knit, though. I am at least a quarter of the way through it, due to the fact that I am using ‘mega chunky’ yarn and 10mm needles.
In other news, the flooding has improved. I went back to school today, however, less than one third of the children came in. We are having rolling power cuts, M1 was still closed and some places are still a mess. However, look at this evening’s sky:
Unfortunately, this is not supposed to last, as we have more severe weather forecast for the weekend 
Oh your booga bag turned out really well! Congrats! Mine just about holds my small wallet and keys. Maybe a lipstick. Or it holds a sock project. That’s it. It’ll sit in the palm of my hand. I was trying to thing how much bigger it would need to be to be more purse size… Hmm…
Love your Booga!
I use mine all the time, and often get positive comments on it. I’m thinking about another one, but with different straps; knitting i-cord drives me insane!
