Well, I have an apron that I got from my SILs and was inspired by the color combination. I bought the yarn from Knitpicks.com: orderd dark brown but also ordered some natural yarn to dye with two different shades of blue Kool aid. I decided to make the handles longer to put over my shoulder and the bag is 10-11" tall instead of 5-7".
Here is the yarn drying
The yarn all rolled up
Here is finished purse with a matching cell phone holder (I made up the pattern but it didn’t felt as well) You can’t see the different shades of blue on the photo but in person, it looks marbled
great job! It looks real nice. Did you use a pattern for the bag. I was just wondering how you attatched the handles. And, did you use a sewing machine to sew the lining to the bag? It looks like it turned out very well.
Nightowl-
The pattern for the purse is at knitpicks.com (rick rack purse), but I just made up the cell phone holder as I went along. The handles are knitting on as I cords (the pattern explains it for you). As far as the lining, someone on here (I forget at the moment) posted directions for me because I really liked her lining. You use a sewing maching to make the lining, but then you hand stitch it in–it is really easy.
the colors!! What a fabulous set! Beautiful work!! The lining is perfect! :cheering:
