Stop Sock Bag - Felted!

So, I needed practice felting something. I also just (this week) ran across my Stop Sock bag, which I needed to line, since the needles kept falling out of the bag - right through the fabric. "Or," I thought , "I could felt it..."

So I did.

It also happens to fit perfectly over a 24oz screw-top hole-for-straw-in-lid tumbler that I wasn't otherwise using... so that' a part of it now:


While the colowork did lead to bleed-through where the pattern isn't, the yarn itself (Paton's Classic Wool) actually didn't bleed at all. So, total win on that front! I really like the way it turned out.
