Here is just a little teaser of what I have been working on! My latest addiction, the African Flower Motif!
So you ready??
Sure??
I'm so excited!
Just check it out!!!
My new knitting bag!! Isn't it awesome??!! :-) I have been on vacation this week, and in between the running and eating out, I was able to finish my bag. I can't stand it. I keep petting it LOL!!!
I absolutely love the shape. Boy, what a challenge. If I had to do it again, I would do it just a little different but just in the construction, the colors are so me.
The inside is completely lined, and I added a pocket. In fact, you could actually flip it inside out and use it. Doubling the grannies also makes it nice and durable.
I used this bright orange vintage button, and I made the little flap in the shape of an octagon.
It's so freakin cool! I can't wait until Wednesday night knitting so I can show it off. The Girlz are gonna poop their pants when they see it! LOL!!
Check out my new scissors! I made a little butterfly scissor fob to go with it. I used embroidery thread.
It's just too groovy to stand it. LOL! They go perfectly with my new bag, too.
I wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate all the links and information given to me on the wonder loom I posted last week!! I have a book on it coming from etsy, can't wait to get it! I also have the pattern ready for the Owlie Mini Key Pouch done and available in my etsy shop!
I hope everyone has a great week, it's back to the grindstone for me. :(

ReplyDeleteGirl, you always amaze me with your talents! I LoVe this bag. The design is devine. The SHAPE, aHHH!I absolutely love that you did a see through hexi for the closure. It's just beautiful & gives it class! Crocheting an inner lining is the best. I've done that myself and I really think that it adds to the completely crocheted look! You're such a great artist with yarn. I would actually carry this as a purse as well, it's so preTTy!
ReplyDelete...and it looks totally you!
I can't wait to see it tonight! I might have to bring a bag big enough to hide it in so I can steal it!!!

OMG!!!!!! The bag is gorgeous. Is there a pattern we can get? The colors are so me. I am disabled but once a week I get out. I would be soooo proud to carry a bag like that. Every day I look on the computer because I want to make my purse. This is the only one that appeals to me.
