This is to show you what can happen when you choose an Ombre (multi-colored) yarn that is a different brand that what is called for in the pattern. Pam and I were both going nuts because you girl's purses are so pretty. So I went to Walmart and bought the only wool yarn they had to make a purse like Pamo's (see her earlier picture.) See the beautiful stipes created by her yarn? I belive that is Paton's yarn.
I had to get Lamb's Pride, as that is all that they had at Wal Mart. Because the various sections of color are so short in the Lamb's Pride, I'm not getting stripes at all, just a multi-colored bag.
I hate these colors anyway, but I can use it for a knitting bag or something - unless someone wants it when I'm done. Hot pinks just aren't my colors.
I just couldn't wait to get started to see how this felting works. But thought you newer knitters might like to see what can happen when you switch yarn brands.
