Roses at midnight

This bag was so fun and superquick to knit. It has endless possibilities when it comes to decoration and I am in love! All the knitting took me just about 2 hours I think.

Stats:

Pattern: Roses at Midnight by She-knits for knitters

Yarn: Iglo from Trysilgarn about 1,5 balls.

Needles: 9 mm dpns.

Modifications: I did not decorate on both sides of the bag, and I needlefelted on the leaves instead of embroidering them on.

Yoo-hoo- Silja where have your pictures all gone??? Jo's Marly Bags

Seriously, is it just my computer or are have all of Silja's pictures become empty frames with a little box with a little red X on everybodies computer. WHERE ARE MY BAG CHILDREN???? (mother panic ensues)

Did anyone ever get to see the beauty of Jo's Marly Bags? She was the first person to ever buy from my Sheknits for Knitters Shop and she bought the Marly Bag kit in the original colors. Then she bravely made two more picking her own fabulous colors. Have a lovely lingering look at my first bag children (trying to calm myself down about my missing ones with looking at my first ones)

surprize!

Look what I found in my mailbox today! My prize from the contest! I won this Beutiful skein of sockyarn by Zen String Lotus Toes. The colorway is called Draconian.

Sharon also sendt me these supercute stitchmarkers!

And to my Big surprice I also got a knitters ring *jumping up and down* I have been eyeballing these for quite a while now!

Thank you so much Sharon! I really really love what you sendt me!

off and on.

I am having some laptop issues and therefor not so much online these days. I hope to get a new one and then I will be bcak in action. I finished the two pairs of socks I had to before I went back to bowling bags... Well I have two bags finished.

Stats

• yarn: various leftovers.
• pattern: XL bowling bag from She-knits for knitters.
• Needles: 4 mm.
• Contribution to the she-knits kal and Holiday kalcal

When knitting it this small I would advise to skip the inside pocket, because when you have a pocket on each side of that “wall” it is so small and tight that the “wall” dont felt as good as it should because it is protected by the pockets.

Stats for the black:

• yarn: Iglo from Trysilgarn bought at europris (10 balls of black og 3 balls grey)
• pattern: XL bowling bag from She-knits for knitters.
• Needles: 10 mm.
• Contribution to the she-knits kal and Holiday kalcal
• 
  

And I am loving seeing all the different bags here!

You might consider....

sending me to the nut-house...... I am so in love with the simplicity and good looks of the xl bowling bag. The wonderful thing about this pattern is that it is so easily changeable when it comes to yarn. What yarn you use determens(?) the size of the bag.

I am working on a black/grey one for my MIL as a christmasgift, I have started a small (even smaller than the pink) for my daughters cabbage patch doll in odds and ends from my feltingyarnstash...

and I am thinking about how I can make it even smaller... So I am considering knitting one on 2,5 mm needles with lacewool...

Now, does that not qualify for a little trip to the nut-house?
I am so hooked on knitting that bag that I have had to give myself a time out so I can get two of the three pairs of socks that I also have on the needles done. One pair was finished last night, and I hope to get lots of work done on the second pair tonight.

Since I got the OK I here by present

XL bowling bag times two.

I have started both of the bowling bags I was going to knit. One is almost done and one is just started. The pink one is for my daughter and the black will be a christmasgift for my MIL. I really love this pattern. It is so simple and nice to knit! The pink one is in double Østlandsgarn and the black one in double Iglo yarn (both norwegian yarns). The pink is knitted on 7 mm needles and the black on 10 mm needles.

My not so big Big Bag.

My not so big Big Bag is finished. I love how it turned out! My mom has her brithday today, so she will get it as a present. Actually I wanted to keep it for myself, but if there is one more person that deserves a beauty like this it is my mom.

Stats
yarn: Double Finull (about 30-40 grams of each color)
pattern: Big Bag from She-knits for knitters.
Needles: 7mm circulars and dpns
Size: 25 cm tall (without the straps) and 15 cm in diameter.

Let the games begin... ehh... knitting begin :)

Hello all :)

Silja calling from the eastern part of norway! I am the one responsibe for that green bag *pointing down* I have started a Big bag.. but I use 7 mm needles and double Rauma Finull yarn instead so it will be a not so big Big bag. I am hooked on this slip stitch patterning... so clever, fun and easy for a nobrainer like me when it comes to fair isle knitting.


I am going to make a few more XL bowling bags, My daughter has requested a pink one and mu MIL have requested and black/grey one.
I went yarnshopping today... I was planning to only buy for these two projects but somehow without me knowing how it happend I got more than I planned for... I got 54 balls of yarn... that equals 2,7 kilos..... I suddenly saw bag in all colors and combos so I just have to have one more bowling bag that is a little smaller than the green one and it will be in purples. I am thinking of making another Big Bag too in turqouise/lightblue/black.
