One Skein? Really?

Here is my Oneskein clutch. See the blue? Not so much one skein! Unless I used some of the skein previously (I don't remember), there wasn't enough to finish the bag. Yeah, I'm bummed. I really like the brown and the blue makes it look, I don't know, cheap? I'm going to leave it and hope that when it's felted the colors will blend nicely and be a bit more muted. Ugh!
I'm knitting a Trellis now also. I have until sometime this summer to get it done. The yarn is a cone I acquired at my former place of employment. No idea what it is exactly. I should do a burn test. I did knit a swatch and ran it throught the washer and while I don't think it felted really it did shrink a bit. Maybe it's a blend. I don't know. Anyway, it's soft, the color is deep and pretty and the stitch definition is excellent.
Yes, I am knitting it in one piece with an extra stitch on each side as a seam stitch. I'm not fond of putting pieces together and figured "what the heck?".
