Pictures

I finally got around to taking some pictures of some of the things that I have done recently. As you can see none of them have the finishing work done, but the knitting part is. I have to put linings in all of them.

This first one is the Mallory Bag. This one is the Amble. The tie in the front is supposed to have a buckle. I can't seem to find anything but gold and I really want silver. I may have to paint the one I bought. I have the handles done, just now sewn on. The lining mom gave me. (see below purse) The blues match almost perfectly.
Here is the one that I designed. I really like the way it has turned out also. I have the handles, and even put them on, but decided I didn't like the way they looked. I am going to attatch them in a different way. They are going to be double twisted i-cord.

Speaking of which, I can't believe that I have been a knitter for almost 20 years and have only heard of i-cord about the last 2. I did an attatched i-cord finish on the edge of the bag and love the way it works. I can tell I am definately going to be using it a lot now that I know how to do it.

This is the beginnings of the Booga Bag. It is wool done on size 11 needles. It will be my first felted project. I hope it turns out well! The knitting is easy anyway.
These are the three skeins of yarn that I bought recently for the men's ties. I think that they will turn out beautiful. I am really excited for them.

I was going to design another bag for Christmas, but found a pattern on Ravelry that I am going to use instead. It is another felted one. It is called the Braided Cable Handle Tote. I really like it and so I am going to do this one instead.
