Where I find a snag is ending up with 7 sts to do the second to last row (K2tog, SK2po, K2tog). My math makes the row counts as follows: 37/33/29/25/21/17/13/9/5. <br />Am I missing something?<br /><br />Somewhat related is the instruction for starting the top of the bag which reads, "pick up stitches along tops of mitered 120 degree Triangles." Do I pick up 1 st per row (which works out to 18 using the decrease schedule mentioned in my last paragraph) or another number?<br /><br />I love the way this is turning out so far, and I know that felting is very forgiving, but I want to give it the best shot. I know that knitting shrinks differently in length and in width and here we have the pinwheels knit in 3 directions, but the top and bottom sections are knit in the conventional 2 directions, so I am not sure how to apply that to how many sts I should pick up around.<br />TIA, <br />LaurieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687244885268128790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550757146028545676.post-5529025507207214282011-01-14T08:56:36.334-05:002011-01-14T08:56:36.334-05:00you've been so kind to be responsive. thank yo...you've been so kind to be responsive. thank you for your help! it will add depth to the appreciation of your beautiful creation.<br /><br />linda gAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550757146028545676.post-86228227285056129952011-01-07T17:16:57.346-05:002011-01-07T17:16:57.346-05:00The icord "frames" the midpanel, which i...The icord "frames" the midpanel, which is made up of the triangles. Fasten off and Cast off mean the same thing. The box depends on how much your bag felts. Just use whatever you have on hand.

My original bag is approximately 12" high and 15" wide (without the straps), but I've seen completed bags both smaller and larger. Like most felted projects, there's a bit of mystery until you pull yours out of the washing machine and block it. Remember - the longer you wash/agitate it in super hot water, the smaller it'll get!knitternallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486709371982555119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550757146028545676.post-90567455604470480162010-12-09T16:36:53.708-05:002010-12-09T16:36:53.708-05:00what are the dimensions after felting? would love ...what are the dimensions after felting? would love to try this classy-looking bag.<br /><br />thanks.<br />lindagAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550757146028545676.post-2130140019223449102009-07-11T22:21:49.800-04:002009-07-11T22:21:49.800-04:00WOW, that is so pretty!WOW, that is so pretty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550757146028545676.post-87433160094815254212008-06-10T14:15:00.000-04:002008-06-10T14:15:00.000-04:00LoreD, that's wonderful!

The bottom is a flat rectangle. When you seam it together, before felting, the bag looks like a flat "envelope." But once felted, you'll shape it and flatten the bottom for drying. The bottom ends up slightly rounded in the finished piece.knitternallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486709371982555119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550757146028545676.post-5228649811046842922008-05-27T08:44:00.000-04:002008-05-27T08:44:00.000-04:00Hello:I am starting to knit the TriMiters purse as...Hello:<BR/>I am starting to knit the TriMiters purse as a gift for my daughter's h.s. graduation.
