For relief, I am also working on the Fiber Trends "Sheep Tote" bag - a much easier felted style. I can almost close my eyes to knit this one! I am not putting the needle-felted sheep on the outside but I love all the extra pockets. I've never felted anything with pockets so I am looking forward to this treat.
The thread wrapped into the yarn creates a really interesting, almost aggressive texture that is very pretty when felted. Right now, however, those "jump out bumps" make me think I've dropped a stitch and I keep going back to check. So far - no problems.

I hear what you are saying about the Interlocking Balloons scarf. I knit that one up last year. Thought I was crazy because it didn't seem like an easy/simple knit but others were calling it that - what?!?
And then to add insult to injury I did extra repeats because my DH likes long scarves. It did turn out very nice though, I am sure yours will too.
Both projects are lovely, but I especially love the colors of your bag. Can't wait to see it after you felt it.
I feel like two lines of Interlocking Balloons equal three or four inches of Felted Bag. Then, I feel the need for a stiff drink!
