Fish Purse and Doll Purse WIP

I've finished the fish purse.

Here it is before a run through the washing machine:

Note the crappy, loose garter-stitch edges.

Here it is after:

I love how garter stitch looks after it's been fulled. The sloppy edges get gently rounded and the texture becomes subtly bumpy.

Note the size difference, before,


and after.


Now on to the doll purse.

The opening of the bag is in the back.

I'm making this one a little bigger, as the llama and fish bags turned out to be too small to hold my wallet and keys. They are just right for sock projects, however.
