I'm so happy to have finally finished this totebag (more the size of a purse, actually). I cast on in June during our vacation, and got lots of quality knitting time in the car. Then it hibernated in a drawer for many days because I was too lazy to sew in all of the ends left from the stripes. I made a pact with myself to finish up a few of my unfinished projects before I started the Fiddlehead Mittens. So I finally pulled it back out and started weaving in ends. Then a short 22 minutes of felting later, it was complete. Still waiting for it to be completely dry, but I love the way it turned out. I can't wait to use this on our long weekend to the wine country in a couple of weeks.
By the way, I did go ahead and cast on the Fiddleheads last night. I managed to find a great combination of colors in my stash - so proud of myself for not buying new yarn. The yarn that I'm using is slightly less fuzzy (it's a merino instead of an alpaca blend). So the mittens might not be quite as fuzzy, but they will be washable which I like!
