Pretty Woman is a Knitter

These pictures were published in People magazine and knitters everywhere went wild. There was mass hysteria in the yarn shops. Brown Sheep Lambs Pride Bulky flew off the shelves. There was a mad rush for novelty yarns. There was fighting in the streets!! The last time I saw chaos like this was when Tickle Me Elmo hit the shelves that one year for Christmas. OK I am totally exaggerating. I do know several people who went ga-ga over the bag we have come to know as........"The Julia Roberts Bag." Real original huh? I think these pictures were published a year or two ago. So please do not run to your local bookstore or super market to buy the current issue of People magazine. I don't think a true pattern was ever revealed. Everything I saw about it said it was "her own pattern."

Here is my "Julia Roberts Bag" I made for my friend Jamie. I still need to sew the handles on it and then figure out a way to get some silk flowers to be stuck to the front of it. I may have to get really creative with this one. Any suggestions? If so drop me a line.

Here is what I used for my "Julia Roberts Bag": The Fiber Trends Fabulous Felt Totes pattern. I did the largest size. Brown Sheep Lambs Pride Bulky in yup you guessed it......Lemon Drop. The fuzzyness around the top was doubled Trendsetter Crisantemo in Purple Peacock. I used Trendsetter Joy here and there so I would have some fun yarn sticking out. I also used a ladder yarn and some Fizz.

When I am done with it I am going to find a black overcoat, some big dark shades, and pose with my bag Miss Julia Roberts style!
