As promised, pictures of the wool for the Folded Tweed Bag. It is knitting up very quickly and I'm liking what I see.
The pattern came from this book by Interweave Press. I bought the book because I want to knit one of the baby sweaters. However, since getting the book home, I've started on the cover mittens and now the Folded Tweed Bag. The book has a pattern for a knitted hobby horse, I'm sure that will make it to my 'work in progress' one day. Oh, and no, I haven't started on the baby sweater (YET).
This is what it is suppose to look like when it is finished. Finding the perfect buttons will be a lot of fun.
I've already have this much knitted (I cast on Thursday night after making a huge pot of Beer Chili, mmm it was delicious). So far I've done the front, bottom and about 1/3 of the back. When I've finished I add a border around the entire rectangle in garter stitch. The border will be in the Autumn colour which is the colour of the band I've just finished.
O my goodness I was just looking for a link to your site for my post today and I see all this knitting - I`m following your other blog and had no idea you had been so busy on the knitting front! I have to run and get my post up but I`ll be back to catch up with all your knitting (and I`ll have to change what I`m following too!)
