Buttonhole Bag

Here is my first attempt at the ubiquitous buttonhole bag. It was easy and fun, went together in just a few hours. Made with a mystery hand spun, hand dyed yarn that has some angora in it and is ever so soft. I took advantage of a yarn sale at Big Lots! and bought eyelash and ribbon yarns for pennies, so added the eyelash here in hopes that it would pop when the bag was felted.
