My Finished Bags

Here are my Robin wristlets.

The second one was much easier with the intarsia. I was not totally in love with embroidery at the end, but it made a big difference. They were both gifts and the recipients loved them!

Finally!

Hi all! Here is my finally finished Melly Bag. I started working on it in November, but couldn't finish it because of dye lot problems at Brown Sheep. Sharon saved the day for me and got me what I needed to finish it, so now I have an awesome Black and Red She-Knits creation! I couldn't be happier. I think the Marly Bag will be next on my list...or maybe Carie Lynn...or maybe...

A Finished Bag

I finished the Marly bag. Loved this pattern. Now I REALLY want the Toothpick Optional bag. I'm going to get it as a reward for cleaning my house. I better hurry up then because I want to work on it soon!

Two new bags

A Carie Lynn bag and another Bigbag...or not so big bigbag. I am very pleased with them both even if they are a little smaller than Sharon intended by the pattern. But I used other yarns and smaller needles, and these came out the perfect size that I like for bags.

Holly and Charlotte with their wristlets!

My cousin in New Zealand very kindly sent me these photos of her daughters with the wristlets I made them. Are they the most adorable little girls! And I get to see them in 9.5 weeks :)

Its been a bit...heeerrreees (another) Melly

Hi everybody- I finished, what I think will be my last Melly Bag to go to the boutique I sell out of. The nice thing is everytime one sells, and this is now the 5th one I have made for sale, I replace it with a new one with slightly different colors. I love Melly, and I am glad she sold but honestly 5 of them is ENOUGH, I am a little sick of her success....well, not really...however you knitters kow what I mean...how many times can you do the samey samey same.





I have finished a new pattern of a wonderful bag that has slip stitching and cabling and texture and and and... unfortunately I can't show you as that is the rules when you submit a pattern for potential publication...so I am just a big tease. I am working on finishing up a pattern for a messenger/laptop bag which should be done soon.

Last think I wanted to show you was my Dream Floral bag, which I haven't written the pattern for it however if anyone is interested perhaps you should e-mail me privately and let me know.

Toothpick Optional

Well, Sharon has done it again! What a wonderful pattern and a CUTE CUTE CUTE BAG!!!

I did mine and took lots of pictures! Here are a few but if you want to see all the pictures I am hoping to post all about it on the blog tomorrow. But if you are on Ravelry...go and take a look :-)

Marly

Caroline Bag in New Zealand!

Here's a photo of Mum with her Caroline Bag. She was visiting a butterfly exhibition.

Another Melly Bag...

I made another version of the Melly bag but this time I went with contrasting colors... I love the way it turned out!!

This one was made with Paton's Classic Wool Merino (doubled) so it's smaller than the 'original' made with Burly Spun, but it's still a good size. The Paton's felted really well (one cycle thru the wash) except the cream didn't felt as much as the other colors. I've heard that sometimes white doesn't felt in some yarns - anyone know why??




Happy Knitting!
JavaNut

toothpick (and olive) optional

I knit this bag for my sister. It is knit from Sharon's latest pattern, and it was a lot of fun (and super quick!). I think I'm going to felt it a little more. I'll definitely make another wristlet. I hope my sister likes it! Sorry the picture isn't great - it really doesn't do Sharon's pattern justice.

Another Ali Bag...

I finally finished my Ali Bag! I love the colors and think it's a great design!!

I still need to tack down the braid - I didn't tack it down (except the ends) before felting because it was a few inches shorter than the pattern and I was afraid it would felt much shorter. It didn't really so now there's plenty of extra to 'drape' between the Xs.

And next time I'd probably make the straps a bit wider... but I love it and decided that I just have to keep it for myself!

Thanks, Sharon!

Caroline Pictures

This one is from the first She-Knits Felted Bag class I taught at my LYS. I am incredibly proud of this student!



Here it is again in the center flanked by the original colors Caroline Bag on the right and a cutomer ordered custom colored one I completed on the left.
