Um, yeah, they're still orphans.

Ok, so last year I was sure I was going to tidy up some loose project ends.  And I did pick a couple orphans to work on.  But somehow, none of them got done.  It was like crafting in a time warp.  But I am undefeated in 2010.  So I selected this--

Can you tell what it is?  I'm not entirely sure either.  I know it is supposed to be a crocheted bag that gets felted into a final product.  However, I've started this project no less than a dozen times, and truthfully, it's probably closer to 2 dozen.  Part of the past problem was it never got to a tube-like stage that showed any promise of being a bag.  It was more rug like--flat and roundish.  I think I've figure it out.  This is the most promising it has ever looked.  See the curling on the ends?  Closest thing to a tube I've managed yet.  Further complicating things is the felting factor.  I know things are bigger and floppier before you felt so I don't know at this point how much is floppy is right and how much is screw up.  I'm keeping on, but if this doesn't work I'm calling this one DOA-dead on attempt.
