Hahh, the purses!
I had a wonderful business from meowcraft from Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5608076
She offers free worldwide shipping, which is a bonus for me. And I have bought a nice lot of purse handles, and purse frames from her. Great stuff! And yes, I’m going to knit a few little purses, and probably a nice big handbag. I’m trying to try out colorwork on the smaller purses. It is like knitting a swatch with a purpose. I will practice, and yet I will be able to use these small pieces.
If I’m too tired of my Caftan pullover (currently my main project) - I will just pull out a little beauty, and knit a few rows. Well, at least this is the plan.
I will have to put aside the Caftan soon - I will run out of yarn. Hopefully by that time my yarn for the drop-stitch cardi will arrive, and I can start that project.
It is from the same issue of Interweave Knits as the Caftan. I have been looking for this yarn all over Ravelry, and finally found it. A nice lady agreed to sell it to me for a reasonable price, and it is on the way to me already. Same color as in the picture. I have only one concern: the zips. I have never sewed in zips into anything, and especially into knitted fabric. Eh, we learn something new every day. And I have my mother to help me 
Yes, I’m two balls sort with the Caftan pullover. Never mind. I knew this is going to be my most expensive project ever, so two or three more balls will not matter. I’ve been searching the net for an economic solution, and I think I have found the best source on Ebay. With 5,40 per [...]
My first colorwork was the hat I have published here in one of my first posts, and ever since I keep thinking about making something coloured again. But this time something different. Fair Isle is something that requires more confidence than I’ve got so far.
And guess what I have found:
Yes. Amazing, isn’t it? It doesn’t [...]
I was going to write about celebrity knitting, but then I saw that there is a lot of articles in this topic. So I dropped the subject. The one I’m going to write about it now is animals in knitted/crochet gear. I know, there is a lot of articles about this too. But I still [...]
Now, if you have all kind of knitting needles (or at least a few of them), and wonder what to do with them, or how to use them at all, there are a lot of helpful sites, where you can learn knitting. From the basics, to the more advanced techniques, there are help for every [...]
Yesterday evening I immediately started a bag, which is actually a crochet bag, and it is in a bowling bag style. It is going to be smashing! No pictures yet, but I will add one when it is worth it, or you will be able to see a decent progress. I make it in brown [...]
