Spider Chrysanthemum Pre felted
Post-felted. This was so cool and easy to make! It took 2 trips through the washer due to my wrong settings. I have a front loader and felting can be tricky at times, but doable. The pictures basically seem the same size, but it is more the difference in the petals.
Noni Skinny Baguette Bag, Spider Chrysanthemum pattern sold separately (I love typing chrysanthemum!) Cascade 200 for all colors except for Hot Pink which was Patons Classic Merino. I was interested to see how the 2 would felt together. They to me are basically the same type of yarn. Both felt quite well on their own and my experiment proved fine!
Close up of the Spider Chrysanthemum. The pattern shows it with beads on the petals...meaning either beaded clear thread or attaching each one singley..um..nope not happening.I'm happy with it. I'll use it and will probably have people wanting one..Well they can knit their own! ;) BTW- I did take photos of how I did the lining if people are interested in a somewhat easy way to do a tubular lining. Let me know!

Ooo! I love it with the spider mum! (I don't like typing that word! ;0) )
Very cool!
I've been thinking about picking up a Noni pattern since my LYS just started carrying them, you liked the patterns? Well written?
I NEED TO GET THESE PATTERNS NOW!
OMG! What a great job!
Z - you are so awesome!
That is so cute! Love the chrysanthemum.
Now that I see the chrysanthemum, my bag will look so nekkid.
I'd love to see the lining photos (unless you'd like to line my next two Noni bags, heheh(
Cute, cute, cute!! I love the chrysanthemum. the pictures of it pre and post felting are so interesting. I love the way the texture changed.
Beautiful bag and love the flower! I may have to make one of my own!
I like it!
Zonda it looks great!
As Sarah asked, "are the patterns well written" Well mostly they are. There was some errata on the bag and luckily I found out before I knit it. I think the hardest thing was the felting of it, you know to keep the shape.
Wow, this is absolutely awesome! Really, I'm totally impressed! This must indeed be the coolest bag I've seen for long - and you've definitely inspired me even more to try my hands at making my own bags too - soon!
OOOH! AAAAAH! I love that bag! I have wanted to work on a noni bag but have so many other projects to finish - So much knitting, so little time! Sue
That flower is awesome--so funky and fun! What a great bag you made!
Wow, what a a great bag! It all came together so nicely.
ooh, I love the Chrysanthemum you put on your noni. (No I did not type it, I copy and pasted it!) It's just the right bit of pizazz!
Your bag turned out so cute! I have that pattern, too - just waiting to be knit up. :-)
Great bag and I love the flower. The colors are great. I would be very interested to see how you did your lining also.
That bag is so gorgeous; I love, love, love the Spider Chrysanthemum!
I would be so tempted to make one of those and pin it to my coat. I'd name it. It could be Annie May
my sea anemone enemy.
