I decided I wanted to knit a cover for a notebook. And as I like moss stitch so much, and was inspired by
this cushion cover I made a start. Unfortunately I hadn't accounted for the amount of give in the knitting, and I soon realised that my idea was not going to work, as the cover would end up too baggy. However, I had this knitting that I was really falling in love with, and it would have been a real tragdy to have to rip it all back. Then another idea came to me, and I carried on knitting. Another of those projects that kind of grows organically, not knowing the final result until you have reached what feels like the end. So, here we are, a little pouch style shoulder bag. A little hippy in style with all that fringe.
I love how through weaving the ends in on the flap, it has given a slightly different texture to the underside of the flap. And finished off with a little bead from my collection to fasten it with.
If I hadn't told myself I was making this to sell, I would have kept it, as I really do love it so. It's also a great little project to use up those left over yarn scraps.
I love this........the best makes for me are always the ones that evolve with no set idea in mind at the start........beautiful x

ReplyDeleteCrikey, that turned out really well! Well done you! Will you now be creating more of them?
ReplyDeleteI would like to, it all depends if this one sells though. Don't know if there is much of a demand for frilly knitted bags!!
DeleteLovely colours. I love the things you make, I must show your blog to my daughters.
