it looks like a short, odd crochet hook, doesn't it?
it seemed like an excellent use of this yarn i received as payment in kind for a sample i knit up for a local yarn store. sadly, i did not like the feel of the yarn or the fabric it knit into, so i've wondered what i would do with it. it has almost identical properties to the yarn recommended in the bucket hat pattern, so i thought i'd give it a go. i cannot imagine that this thing will felt down to a wearable size -- it's 48" in circumference along the bottom -- but it will be great-looking if it does. i've never felted a crocheted item before, so that's an adventure as well.
a FO is in my future, i can smell it! or is that just the wet lambswool...

That looks like a lot of fun. A tip though, in the case that it does not felt down to hat size, you can always turn it upside down, add handles and have a beautiful new bag!
zoe, i love that idea! either that or a round container ;-)
it has felted down to almost a reasonable size. i think i'd make it a bit smaller were i to do it again.
thank you for the comment! do come back soon!
