This is my never ending knitting project that I am determined to finish this year. I figure maybe if I post this demand on myself on this blog I may just succeed!
It's THAT project I keep putting away. I make something else, and then drag this back out - only to get frustrated and put it back away while I make something else. I have finished the sides, the back, and the red straps. They were all solid and no problem.
This is the pattern. I am on the line right above the green tape. I have a ways to go. When I finish the knitting I follow with embroidering more colors over this pattern - felting the wool - cutting the pieces to the right dimensions, and then putting it together. I'm very happy you don't have to line a felted bag!
Really, the hardest part is sorting and untangling all of the balls of yarn colors you use at the same time. It's a crazy mess!
Hope you have a great day! I had parking lot duty this morning at school - think 32-34 degree's and pounding freezing rain. Oh how I was wishing for a freezing rain day! I think I'm finally warming up! Sometimes you end up getting such a beautiful day for that job, and then days like today hit. It makes it interesting!
oh wow what a great bag!....I know you will get it done....hope you warm up...we had some snow today...but its on its way out!....ah spring...soon!

Love the bag! Can't wait to see it when you've got it done. I've had a few projects like that - they just seem to linger on and on.
ReplyDeleteBtw: I've tagged you in my post today if you'd like to play along :)

I am SO impressed that you are that far along, even with putting it down and picking it up. I took a knitting book out of the library last year thinking I could teach myself and didn't get past the first few pages. Good luck finishing!
ReplyDeletewow this is a VERY cool satchel! i am excited to see this finished!!! i'm still on slippers over here! i played with a crazy little iphone sleeve and in the felting it turned into my eyeglass case. i'm afraid if i tried an actual satchel what i would end up with!
ReplyDeletekeep up the great work! you inspire me!
