This is another gift diaper bag using the pattern from Knitting For Baby. Like last time, everyone in my knitting group (except the recipient) knit a piece or two. We used Lamb's Pride Bulky and size 13 needles, so it knit up fast. Unlike the last time, the front pocket design was planned from the beginning, not an afterthought. The flowers and vine were loosely based on the Nicky Epstein Felted Floral Capelet pattern from IK, and all the pieces were sewn to the bag prior to felting. Although it was tricky to tack and sew the i-cord vine in the desired spots, I definitely preferred the sewing process pre-felting rather than post, since it is much easier to get a needle through unfelted knitting.

I haven't been knitting a ton, because I am suddenly obsessed with cleaning out my kitchen cabinets, so that has taken up much of the boy's nap time. Plus, this weekend I have a concert of Czech music which I have performed before, but need to review.

Hopefully I'll be able to finish either the FBS or Clapotis in time for cooler weather.
