What do I have here ? A knitted & felted satchel of course. (Yes, knit almost entirely while walking.) It is a birthday present for my sister-in-law Patricia. In mere minutes I’m going to drive up to St. Helena to meet at the Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company, where we will have our cafe latte’s and I will give it to her. Afterward we always hit our favorite thrift shop ’round the corner. Actually, this satchel is completely reversible.
Happy Birthday Patricia !

I’m impressed! That’s lovely Jen. Please wish your sister-in-law a happy birthday all the way from bonnie Scotland! X
Aye hen, I sure will ! xx
Lovely. Happy Birthday to Patricia from Ontario, Canada. Sounds like you guys have lovely way of celebrating. Enjoy. xo
Debbie thanks ! We did have a lovely time, and I did find something nice at the thrift shop too… and… she loved her satchel !
What a lovely bag! Hope you have a wonderful afternoon 🙂
Thanks so much !
How lovely! What a nice gift to get. I am sure Patricia will be thrilled. I hope you get some bargains in the thrift store.
Lize, thank you . She was thrilled actually, as you know, I have pour’d hand-made on her daughters relentlessly, and even my brother (her husband), but this time she was so pleased to have been made something. And I did find a nice fresh ,,, nearly ‘Louiser’ blouse at the thrift shop. 🙂
I just looked on google to see what St. Helena looks like and it seems to be a charming pretty town. So lets see…. a friend to meet, a delightful gift to give and a pretty town and area to visit plus fun shopping! A perfect day’s outing. Have a wonderful time.

Thanks Carol. Oh, St Helena is POSH . The poshest of all the valley towns by a long-shot. But there’s a couple little spots out of the way of the tourists… that thrift shop for one. 🙂 We did have fun.
Not only is your birthday gift incredibly useful but it’s beautiful as well! And all made by hand — even more wonderful.
Thank you so much Evelyn !
What about a wee pattern for the bag?
Great idea Liz ! 🙂
