I think knitting looks relaxing and fun (no idea why) so I began this wool bag project well over a year ago, picking it up from time to time but not making much progress after a year's time. I've decided that I am simply not much of a knitter. DD1, D' is a knitter. She creates magical things from wool yarn - I do not and I don't care, lol. One day I handed the supplies to D' and asked (okay, begged) her to PLEASE turn this into a bag! The bag I started is the one pictured here (with white buttons). It's fine. A perfectly nice bag...but.
D' had better ideas. I love this bag! It's far better suited for my needs and is amazingly beautiful as well. The cable design is done perfectly.
I love it. Thanks D'!
PS: Here is the link where you will find a wonderful knitter's blog and the instructions for making this bag. Enjoy! http://knittinginmybackyarn.blogspot.com/2009/09/braided-cable-handle-tote-free-pattern.html
She has done a wonderful job! Love the way the cable stretches into the handles!! D'can knit my bag everytime hihi!! Happy sewing or knitting, Daniëlle
ReplyDeletebeautiful, yes the knitter in our family is my youngest dd , she makes socks like I can make a little quilt!
ReplyDeleteglad she found a creative outlet as a teenager that she will and can use through out her life.
love the bag and oh cables love them!
How clever of her, my limit to knitting is something that can be finished in no more than 3 nights, after that I'm bored with it!!

What a beautiful bag...she did a wonderful job. My mom tried so hard to teach me to knit...she tried several times...no luck...I'm just pitiful...drop stitches, leave holes behind that aren't supposed to be there. I always love watching people knit, but I just can't do it.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness but D has a real talent there, doesn't she? Oh that's is most DEFINTELY a beautiful bag my friend. Wow!!! Thanks for sharing. Fun post.
ReplyDeleteLovely bag! She did a great job! :0)
ReplyDeleteGreat bag! Love the cables!
ReplyDeletewow, that's gorgeous! i can't knit either...so i'm having a little non knitter envy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun bag....
ReplyDeleteCan't knit a stitch myself, either. Tried it, don't like it. But both DD's knit and won't quilt. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled that you love your new bag. Hand made love is one of the best gifts, isn't it? As I explore your blog I am overwhelmed by your quilts. They are so beautiful. All I can think is that you must be a very patient person for all that work!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a knitter either! I just don't have enough hands and eyes to do ALL that I want to do! Dang it! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this bag! It turned out so great! Looks sturdy too! Great job! Xo
