One Handbag

I have decided to go with this yarn combination I used them together but separately. It is knitted in stocking stitch and garter stitch and this is my own design. The bag is fully lined in pink gingham and has a floral pocket.

Three cushions and more wool.

Theses are the three Cable knit cushions I have done so far. I am using coloured wools together to find a colour combination I like and will make a gadget case or a bag. I have knitted a few rows but will probably change this and try another colour. I found this big ball of yarn in a charity shop, love the colours and wonder what I could make, a bag I think.

My Latest Sewing Makes

I have made bags and purses. This is a handy quilted knitting or crochet bag very roomy with six inside pockets and an all round gusset for extra room to carry your project with you and for keeping it with you as you create your yarn wonders.




Then I made a funky quilted pink piggies shoulder bag. This had a flower patten on the back so you can have this bag showing either side both are pretty. I have made a selection of purses some small just for coins and some that can hold cards as well all are lined and original. Two match shoulder bags and would look good together or you can buy them separately! All are available to buy from my Folksy Shop Crafty Bags.

Cable Knit Cushion

I love making these cable knit cushions there are so many designs to choose from this is my third cable style cushion pattern. This cable pattern is Criss Cross Cable with Twist. The yarn I chose is King Cole Magnum Chunky 50% Recoil Acrylic 25% Courtelle Acrylic and 25% Wool. It says on the label bulk without the weight. I like the thickness. It will be an 18"x 18" cushion.

A cushion and a knitting bag

Another cushion this week I first decided to make a Celtic cable knit 20" cushion as I made a 16" cable cushion last week. I found a lovely Celtic cable design and added 20 stitches each side then found this was wider than needed so I decided to make a bolster cushion. I have used Kingcole chunky in acrylic. I also have polyester stuffing and muslin I will make the inside with it. I have added more stripes to my crochet afghan I am crocheting four loops to each stitch for a thicker warmer throw it takes longer I don't mind I do about two stripes a day. It will take roughly six weeks or a bit longer I estimate to finish, each stripe is about 1" It will become a 6' square throw. I am really pleased how my quilted sheep knitting bag turned out!

Cable Knits and Knitting Bag

I have made a cable cushion with Aran Rustic Tweed yarn. I bought 400g as I would like to make a few cable knit cushions now I've started. I have begun another cushion a Celtic cable knit 17 row pattern and this is with chunky wool. I have knitted the first cushion using two strands of yarn as it would knit up quicker but I had to do twice as many rows as my wool wasn't as thick. I hardly ever used chunky or super chunky I have usually stuck with double knit, I can see myself using more chunky yarns as I try my hand at more yarn projects. I started with these photos all in order but they rearranged and I can't copy/paste them around with my iPad. I have started to make a knitting bag I am excited about as I had the idea to use sheep shapes from a curtain, cut out and joined together and I think these sheep would be ideal. This will be the first knitting bag I made. There are other pretty patterns of flowers, and pink pigs I may use the pink pigs too to make a pink pig bag. I have started quilting the back and front.
