Should be finished tonight

I should be finished with my bag tonight! I have to wash my son's sneakers later, so I hope to get the bag in the washer with the sneakers. Here's a picture of what I've knit thus far:

Modification: My Mom didn't want the figure 8 cable on the pocket, just the diamond. If I was thinking I would have done a double diamond.... I have enough yarn for a 2nd bag, so maybe I'll do it as a double diamond on the next one :-)

If I have it finished tonight I can bring it up to NH this weekend & my Mom can use it for the Wool Arts Tour that we're going to :-)

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.

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.

Hello and welcome to knitters of She-Knits patterns. Inspired by a lovely knitting customer who just finished the XL Bowling Bag, Cables on Pockets (shown above), and because some of my patterns have been blissfully selling like hotcakes, I thought I would offer a knit-a-long so we could have a forum in which we could all share, connect, support one other and exhibit (aka totally show-off) our She-Knits purses.

Now who out there is going to cast on a bag, where are you from and what yarn are you using??
