Knitted bag

Filed under: Crafty things

An almost finished piece! The straps still need to be sewed in place, but I don’t feel like doing that right now.


The bag half way through. Not very pretty. Sort of a big shapeless sack on circular needles.

Then, however, I finished it. Here is is, strap and all, ready for felting. It looks quite nice here - the yarn is really lovely - Rowan Yorkshire Tweed Aran - really strong colours and good stitch definition. However, as it was destined for felting the stitches were a little loose.

I washed the bag and strap on a 60 degree wash twice - the second time didn’t make any difference really. I was hoping it would shrink down a wee bit more, but I’m happy with it anyway.

The picture’s a bit out of focus, sorry about that, but you get the general idea.

WIP: Knitted hat

Filed under: Crafty things


What with job changes, college assignments in, and agenerally busy work schedule, I’ve been neglecting my knitting.
I only have one work in progress, and it’s this hat, which is an important one and I want to get it finished, just haven’t had much knitting time recently. I’m hoping posting it up will make me carry on with it.
