Just a quick post as am busy playing catch up today. Do you remember me showing you a ball of purple shaded yarn a while ago? Well I finally made my piece for the challenge and here it is - yes another bag! Louise you will understand this bag fetish I know!!
I used some of the yarn to knit and felt a couple of squares which I then used to make the flower with a small felt ball for the centre - it didn't turn out quite as I hoped but I guess it "will do"!
Yesterday evening I made another little knitted heart - didn't require much thought or inspiration to do but I was making something rather than sitting idly watching TV!
This looks lovely. Isn't it amazing how many women can't 'just' watch TV. I have to at least doodle and I usually have my lap-top and an array of pencils and pens around my chair. Hub never ceases to chide me that I just missed seeing an important bit - keep knitting, this is a gorgeous bag.
ReplyDeleteWhat a de-lish bag you have made here. The yarn is wonderful and it looks so soft. The heart is too cute. Isn't nice to come back from a little trip and know you got something fun done, even while away.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, everything looks gorgeous as usuall!!
ReplyDeletehave a nice week

Oh your bag made my heart skip!!! I just LOVE it! Was this your own pattern? I have been thinking for weeks about crocheting or kniting a new bag, but just can't figure where to start...the plan is still in a tangle in my head. Plus I only have very basic skills in both areas. Can I just say again, L O V E your new bag, especially the colour.
ReplyDeleteWell done and welcome back!
PS Oh yes I understand our fetish with bags :-)
PPS Do you have a tutorial for the knitted heart? It is very sweet.
Such a pretty colour. I love the little pink heart too, sweet.
ReplyDeleteI have a bag fettish too, love knitting them and especially love your purple creation!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of your sweet wee bag!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Your new bag looks lovely! Just out of curiosity: how many handmade bags do you have?
