Progress of a Felted Bag

I have worked on this bag for about a year or more.  I spun the yarn and dyed the first batch yellow, orange, and brown.  I then began crocheted this huge bag and then added some more wool yarn I spun that was dyed pale green.  It still wasn't tall enough so I spun more brown wool into yarn and added it to the top.  I then made handles into I-Chord and wove the handles into the bag and sewed them in.  It is double crocheted and this is my progress.  I have help with all I do. 



Here it is finished.  It is over 2' w ide and about 18" tall.



This is where I wove the handles in-between the double crochet and then sewed it down better for washing with the tails.

My friend, Marilyn, washed it for me in her top loading washing machine.  Right now it is still at her house drying.  So the next few pictures are what she sent me.  I can't wait to see it in person!
