The sample i grew fond of became a bag! i made a front to go with the back, a flap and a handle. Then i picked-up-and-knitted the sides and bottom and picot-ed all around the perimeters (lovely peaceful job.)
Plenty of inevitable cat and dog hair in the pictures and the colour has been extremely difficult to faithfully reproduce. (in reality, the first photograph is the closest match.)
Last Sunday i finally got 'round to constructing a canvas inner (undyed to show off the holes) so it's bits-n-bobs tight now and quite rigid. I still need to line the handle or the bag will be dragging along the ground.
Ever helpful John suggests i branch out into crochet bags for iPads, pods, laptops and Kindles.
I may attempt a tea-cosy. And a hat!
Your bag is beautiful!!! You are so talented :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anja! Oh don't, you make me blush. Do you crochet? It's amazingly calming, like knitting but more portable! x
ReplyDeleteI used to crochet as a kid, totally forgot how to do it :( I need a refresher! :)
ReplyDeleteYoutube, Anja! I didn't do any of this stuff when i was a child. Mostly i followed insects around the garden and created hair-do's on my doll.
