How Many Knit Purses Does One Person Need?
At least a few more. Take a look at this photo I found linked on one of Crazy Aunt Purl's comments:

Very pretty, no? I hope someone figures out a pattern for it and shares it with everyone. Here is my latest shoulder bag in its felted form:
The bottom is knit from some leftover black Lamb's Pride Bulky, and the body and long strap were knit from one lone and lovely skein of Noro Big Kuryeon in a beautiful color scheme with lots of shades of green and blue. The fabric isn't as substantial as other felted bags I've made since I didn't double the yarns and the Noro runs thick and thin in places, but two trips through the wash has it felted enough to safely hold all I need to hold. It has a button closure, so as soon as I sew on a button it will be ready to roll!

That purse in the link...makes me want to cry.
I like your new felted purse. I say that you can NEVER have too much handknit anything.

There are 365 days in a year. A bag for every day!
I have the same affliction. Bags are so fun to make!
