I have been knitting, frogging, knitting, and frogging. Now I’m knitting again. Syd agrees, “not quite right?”. I saw the “Knotted up” Bag from Bags that Rock Book (this is a felted bag pattern) and picked out some lovely yarn. It is Araucania Nature Wool Solids from manufacturer “this 100% pure wool is carefully kettle dyed with the subtle variations in colors only hand dyed yarns have it's individual beauty emerges as the artisan carefully blends the colors in a kettle to create it's several unique shades.” Yes it sounds lovely. Perfect for the bag I had in mind. You know the feeling, yarn + pattern = greatness. Ha. I started knitting the first time on the bag, which is knitted in 5 sections, front and back, bottom, and sides/straps. After knitting the front, I looked at the amount of yarn left……I had only used a tiny amount. I had cast on with one strand, many felted purses use two strands of yarn held together. This pattern didn’t “say” use two strands.
I have yarn and a spinning wheel. Ready to handle anything as long as I have my fiber along for the ride. Contact me at: knittingdragonflies at gmail dot com A blog about knitting and spinning. I also have a link list to tutorials for knitting spinning and a free knitting patterns link list.
