I was able to felt my Kool Aid Sophie. (a great weekend for felting and catching up on the laundry). The bag felted more than the phone cozy, but otherwise I think it came out alright. Now I just have to line it and add the snap to the phone cozy,and I will have another FO.
...and I was finally able to line the Byzanz bag. I'm planning on giving it to my sister, so hopefully she'll like it, and maybe she'lll even use it. ;-)

WOW! They both look amazing! The Kool Aid Sophie came out adorably -- the colours are fabulous felted as well. And the phone cozy is the perfect touch (and very practical, too, I would say).
I'm sure your sister would love the Byzanz bag and carry it proudly. Who wouldn't? It looks tres tres chic. And you've done a lovely job of lining it, too. What sort of material did you choose for the lining? I quite like the contrasting colour. Very suitable.
You and your sister are going to have a most fashionable fall, I see. Well done!
WTG on the finished bags! They look great!!!!!
Two very chic FO's you've got there, eyeleen. I like the Byzanz bag very much. What yarn did you use for that?
*note to self - MUST line own Booga*
I used Gedifra Byzanz. I'm not very original with names, I usually name my projects after the yarn I use. :-)
Yeah Project Kool-aid! I really like your Sophie Bag. I also did Project Kool-Aid though I still haven't knitted anything with my yarn yet. You can check it out at www.onmyisland.blog-city.com, if interested.

Hello fellow RAOK...Just got to visit your blog. Nice job on all your felted bags.
Hello! Just winding my way thru the RAOK ring, and found your blog - I love all the bags you've been making! They are lovely!
I love your Byzanz purse! I have a couple of skeins of Byzanz in the same colorway that I've been wondering what to do with....how many skeins did that bag take? (BTW, I found you through the 'random' of the Beginner Babe webring). :)
When I bought the Byzanz yarn I didn't quite know what to do with it. I Just loved the color. Anyway, I used a little less than 4 skeins of yarn, and it was knit in the round on size 15 needles.
happy knitting!
