Whew … Booregon #3 done:
Pre-felting (including close-up of “tweed”):
Post-felting (including close-up of “tweed”):
This was knit with Lamb’s Pride Periwinkle & Noro Kureyon #52 held together for the tweedy part; the contrast is Lamb’s Pride Jack’s Plum.
I knit this one in the dimensions of a Booga Bag but used the Oregon Tote techniques, which make for a very sturdy bag.
One thing: Doing this in the Booga dimensions caused the “buttonholes” on the end panels to be pretty close together; I think the next one I make I will go back to the Oregon Tote dimensions.

Thanks, everyone!
Julie – only 3 left to go! (maybe four – I’m not happy w/ the first one now that I’ve switched techniques – it’s too flimsy)
