Mid-way through felting...
...the tote is turned right-side out...
...and a 'U'-shaped slit is cut into each side...
...to form a handle.
During felting...
...the knitted heart has 'become one' with the pre-felt...
...and the silk and wool yarn has melted into the bag beautifully.
The finished tote (side one)...
...and a close-up of the felted heart.
Side two with its 'thumbprint' stitching...
...and a closer look at the variegated yarn colourway.
I like that there's a small shock of green...
...when you catch a glimpse of the bag's interior...
...and the multicolored dots of yarn...
...really make me smile.
Next time: the first of two tote projects...
...which were actually made right-side out for a change!! :)

Oh dear, I love this way of making the nice dots and stitches. Very clear and lovely. May I steal the technique?
Terriea-Of course you may!! (Do mention me, will you?!?)
Thank you Heather and sure to mention. You're inspiring.
