Fulled Bag

Using some of the left over wool from my Frou Frou, and the gorgeous stuff Librarylass sent me, I made this crocheted sunglass holder (at least that was the plan).
This out of focus shot (I was impatient to start fulling) was after it was crocheted:

And this is after fulling:


I started off hand fulling but it didn't shrink much, so then I tossed it in the washing machine (which helped but not quite as much as I wanted), and then I tossed it in again and then it was perfect sunglasses size! Then with the addition of one of my vintage buttons it was done!

No pattern, just single crochet with randomly placed stripes until I had something that was about 1/3 bigger than I wanted it.
