Janet was found

I have finally found the Janet crossover sweater’s pattern. I’m still not that happy…. I have the feeling that this one would not fit no matter how I will assembly. Anyway. I will give it a try, and if it doesn’t fit, I will sell it on the next WAMP. The next WAMP is actually this Sunday, but my husband talked me off about it. So I cancelled my application. He said that it doesn’t worth to go, because I haven’t much of inventory to sell. I denied, and we had an argument about it. I’m still cross with him.

I will not start how I feel about him at the moment, let me just tell you that I’m close to the edge of the D word. And no, not because of this argument. This is only the top of the iceberg.

I have found a lot of cute – and not much of effort – knitted bag patterns since my Bags post, and I think it will be a good idea to go through my stash, and knit a few of them. I have ordered a few interesting and cheap handles from Etsy (yes, again…) which will go great with the knitted bags. Bag handles are impossible to find here. Remember, when I told you that I will search second hand shops for them? Well, I did, but I have found nothing. Thank God for Etsy. There is a lot of great destashing happening around there, and I love to browse amongst them.

And yes, I’m still making jewelry too. I will post pictures of the newest creations this weekend. I have a nice strand of faceted black czech cristal bead, two shades of turquoise, and that gorgeous red coral stick strand. I’m planning to compose something really breathtaking with them.

Even more bags

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 cotton (Cristal Palace cotton), and in a contrast color, but I haven’t yet decided which. Mauve or yellow? We’ll see.

I will have to add a cardboard support to the base, which means I will have to make the base twice as wide as in the pattern, to be able to hold it in half, and hide the cardboard inside. I will use smaller hooks for the sides, to make it strong enough to self support. The closure will be a zipper, and it is going to have two handles, crocheted as well.

I had no time to mine the second hand shops yet, for great bag handles, but I have a few old bags at home, I might go through them this weekend.

Again I wish the day would consist of 48 hours. So many things to do, and so little time…
