Cute bags! What a great idea to block with a balloon! ![]()
These look like fun!! I
the colors you’ve used for your bags!! Awesome idea to use a balloon!!
Lovely bags, thanks so much for sharing 
Thanks for sharing these. The purses you knit are just adorable. I know that I am going to be knitting that Coco bag. 
That reminds me of when my dd was a baby (22 now); when I washed her little cotton bonnets, I’d shape them over a blown-up balloon to dry them. I never thought of using it for blocking knitting. 
Those are pretty. I love the colors you chose for the coco bag. Thanks for sharing patterns.
Very cute! Thanks for sharing!
Those are so CUTE! 
Thanks so much for sharing the patterns. Nothing like adding more to the “TO DO” list. 
What did you use for yarn? Everything looks so sharp!
For the Balloon Bag, I pair a base yarn (like Cascade 220, Lamb’s Pride, etc) with some sort of novelty yarn. I have used eyelash yarns, the ones with little flags like Cancun and Little Flowers, mohair combination yarns like Dune and probably others I can’t recall.
I was NOT happy with furry yarns, the bag ends up looking like some reject from Sesame Street.
For Little Coco, the key I think is a good combination of the two yarns. I used Cascade 220 in the sample bags. You could use a novelty yarn/base yarn combo in just the body of the bag, and have plain base, piping and I-cord. I might do one of those for fall. I got the Cherries and Oranges Little Flowers by Crystal Palace the other day, and will have to find the perfect base yarns to go with it.
I am finishing up a booga bag that I am making for my mother for mother’s day. I wish I had seen these bags before I started this one. These bags are beautiful!! I know what my next project is going to be!
