Cherry red bag
This red bag was knitted earlier this year when i did not have a blog. I suspected that it wouldn't be fair for the bag if it was not mentioned at all. It was inspired by a Rowan design, but since i didn't have enough money to purchase the book, i knitted the bag according to my own interpretation and imagination, it took me more than 2 weeks to knit and piece the parts together.I always get lots of compliments when i bring it out. In fact, it has inspired 2 of my 'non active' knitting friends to pick up knitting all over again. It is slouchy and roomy, but recently it has been pilling really badly. Is that a way i could save it without having to stop using it completely ??

What a gorgeous bag! It's not fair for it at all if you didn't mention about it. It's pilling badly because the wool you use was most likely woollen spun which is made of short fibers. I am not sure what can be done to save it but perhaps you can felt it one day when it gets too bad.

What a gorgeous red! I can see why everyone loves it.
I don't know how you could save it, maybe by felting it or perhaps lining the bag with fabric?
Your red bag looks great! Maybe you could use a a mini machine that shaves off the pilling wool.
Thanks for visiting my blog and welcome to the knitting blogland. You'll have lots of fun!
Perhaps you could consider felting it to save it from pilling any further?
