Knitted Shopper



This is the bag I am making at the moment I have started on the rib which when long enough will be folded over. It will have a lining and small wooden handles at the sides with a shoulder strap.
The bag is made with a bobble and vine pattern.

The green is a brighter green than the photo.

I am pretty good at doing bobbles now.

February and March

February and March has seen some good luck for our family.

In February my OH and myself went to see our family in Wales. Our daughter and her partner had generously bought us a car!!!! We thought we were going back by train we weren't expecting to drive back from Wales in our car! What a lovely surprise!!!!

In March I found out I'd won an Apple iPad 64gb from the Readers Digest prize draw!!! That was a lovely surprize. It will arrive in aprox 6 to 8 weeks.

I am busy again making a selection of bags and I am booking up to do craft fairs this year after the first one I did last year.  Velvety Orange is nearly finished ready to photograph and sell on Folksy.

Tweed Bag and Crocheted Squares



Tweed Bag


I have just added this Tweed Bag to my Folksy shop. It is made from a remanant I liked. It is a simple design with a tab front and orange button. It is fully lined in a satiny peachy colour with two matching pockets.



Granny Squares

I have made enough squares to make either a cushion or a bag. I will join them together with a light colour and for the back I will make colour squares in one colour. I am going to make a bag with this.
