My first felted project, now actually felted. It's modelled off the Swiecki lunchbag pattern in Knitty a couple of seasons past. Altered, the better to fit my lunch tupperwares. The bag itself is knit from two skeins of Reynold's Lopi, which was a bit too little-- my excuse for the lame flap. I used black grosgrain for the strap, a large hook-and-eye for the front clasp, and a pair of crazy faux-retro buttons from Jo-Anns. I need to shorten the strap a bit, and eventually want to switch the ribbon out for an ecru-colored natural fiber strap. Or maybe a belt... just something sturdier, but I didn't have luck finding anything (and I've looked! and looked!)
