Black, grey & white wool yarns knitted & felted into this lovely tweed medium sized tote named for a familiar address in London. A lovely ICORD handle has D rings and a silver hook to catch & wear as a long strap or two straps & additional beaded handles create a totally new look & feel. The beaded handles can be tucked inside when not in use so wear it your way! Two large & two smaller interior pockets embellished with lovely fashion buttons, top interior black fashion trim, lovely black & white fashion fabric covers the interior base, ICORD ties at each top edge side are embellished with novelty yarn as is the top edge of the bag/tote. Numerous pockets, buttons, magnetic snap, black frog top closure all add to the fashion bag for all seasons. I knitted THREE flowers in 3 different wool yarns, felted them & embellished them with a lovely silver fashion button for the front of the tote. Think of Sherlock Holmes & Watson & where they lived in London & the tweed coat that Holme

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
