I have to admit, there are a lot of projects in this issue that caught my eye. But the Tweed Shoulder Bag is one that I'm going to try and get finished for the 18th of the month.
I've chosen Bliss' Donegal Chunky Tweed, the recommended yarn, in the denim colourway. The gifty has demonstrated an interest in denim coloured bags recently, so...
I chose to make two tweed bags for my friends gifts this year. Now, I didn't realized I'd chosen tweed as the yarn for both until I was in Romni purchasing the yarn.
The first bag I made, the Folded Tweed Bag was very straightforward and simple. This Tweed Shoulder bag, as you might have noticed from the fact I had to cast on 5 times, is not as simple and straightforward. There are 3 patterns within the front and back panels. It will be interesting to see how this goes along. I'd never make comments on the personalities of the giftys, but I am wondering if I chose pattern that suit their personalities. LOL
