Before their baths (Kimmy/Samantha spoilers)

Tomorrow I am planning on felting my Samantha and Kimmy bags.  I followed the lead of several people in the KAL group and used the leftover yarn from Kimmy to make a dumpling bag.  I ended up having about 3 yards of the light brown left.  Talk about close.

So here's the dumpling before:


Kimmy all ready for her bath:



And Samantha before felting - the sun was at a weird sideways angle - this picture sucks but is actually the best shot of the pockets:



I didn't do the handle the way the pattern called for,  I didn't like the way it came out in other people's pictures.  So I made a braid - but didn't create a loop to attach it, but had each cord in the braid attach to the bag evenly on the ends:



Hopefully I will have the after pictures later in the week.

I just finished the last square for my VJAC afghan - now I have to seam it together .... ughhh...
