Knitted Poodle Bag

I made another bag as well as the one I showed you yesterday. The poodle is a knitted sample I did years ago, it was one of those things I was saving for a rainy day. Most of the samples ended up in blankets but I thought this dog would make a nice motif for a bag. The black background is some velvet which has been in my stash for years too, the lining was fabric from a garment I think, also from the stash.
