Since I got the OK I here by present


Pipes and Braid :) Yes I am that scary scary secret testknitter of this bag!

Stats
yarn: Østlandsgarn from Gjestal
pattern: Pipes and braid from She-knits for knitters.
Needles: 7 mm.
Information: I used double østlandsgarn and 7 mm needles on everything.


*edited to add: When flat the bag measures 25 cm i height and 33 cm on the widest part of the body. Østlandsgarn equals sportweight yarn suitable for 3,5 - 4 mm needles according to the band around the ball and is 23 stithes pr 4 inch in gauge*

Silja,

Great looking bag. I've been "talking" with Sharon about that pattern, and am happy to see it again.

Would you mind posting what size your bag finished since you used a lighter weight yarn than Sharon did in the original version?

Thanks!

Gorgeous Silja. Thanks for knitting so fast so that Sharon can get the pattern out for the rest of us.
