Ripped from the pages of Knitty:
When it comes to my addiction to all things textilicious… my love of felted bags is second only to scarves! I cringe when I admit… I stopped counting my “felted friends” years ago.

The idea for this little day caddy came to me in line for coffee. The cavernous tote I had grabbed that morning--- yes, felted--- refused to surrender my wallet! Well, my lovelies, the Mother of Invention is a knitter!

This pouch is a perfect fit for my simple daily needs: wallet, keys, glasses, lipstick, iPod, small notebook and pen!
All necessities are safely kept in place by a prettily gathered drawstring top and sweetly stitched flap.

For stitching ideas, I found great inspiration by flipping through Aimee Ray’s book, Doodle Stitching Lark Books, 2007.

This felting project is super quick and easy to whip up. This Holiday Season, I just might be merrily crafting an entire flock for those on my gift list….
