Wow..look at this bag

#1

I just found this beautiful bag. :cheering: Seems like quite a few people did a KAL on this. Did anyone here do that bag?? :rollseyes: There were 26 pages of discussion on this and they finally got the pattern figured out. I really enjoyed reading all about it. I think I’d have to do the easy one from Berroco that they also showed.

That looks hard :shock:

Oh :cheering: :cheering: I forgot to show you the original bag…see that price tag?? No wonder many are making their own.

They call it a “crochet” bag but it is knit. Many say the curls on the bottom are crochet. Anyway, I just found this whole thing very interesting. It does look difficult to do. I may have to knit up the “wannabe” bag from Berroco.

:inlove: I love that bag… Right now I’m working on this one

#9

Oooh, Dustina, that is gorgeous!! :inlove: :inlove:

I actually like the Berocco one (Lorraine) best. I bookmarked it for when I am feeling like a more advanced knitter. I think I have a little ways to go.

Oh, just give it a go! It looks harder than it is. The only way to get advanced is to do advanced things. My third knitted object ever was a sock! Be brave! And we’re here to help! :heart:

#12

I have to agree - I figured I could be doing scarves for the rest of my life unless I took the plunge and went for it. Sure enough I made some mistakes but doesn’t matter - can either frog back or leave em in if they aren’t too bad - since the mistakes make it show as hand made which I think give it a better appeal =D

Go for it!

I got the pattern mailed to me just now - this is another one on the list of “to do”

#13

I have to say I don’t think I’ve ever knitted anything perfectly. :rollseyes: Somewhere or somehow I end up making a tiny mistake or a big one and if it doesn’t show that much I keep going. I admit I wish I did it all perfectly…but doesn’t seem to be how I “knit”. :XX:

#14

Me either! If I aimed for perfection, I’d still be stuck on my first scarf! :wink: Most mistakes I just let go; others I know I have to correct. It’s frustrating, sure, but the mistakes really do teach you a lot. And make the most of stitch markers and lifelines–they help fend off madness!

#15

That bag is incredible! I wonder where you would get wicker for the top though? Something to think about making, thanks!

#16

My daughter loves ferragamo bags, and this is as close as she is going to get to Mom getting one for her :wink:

#17

:rofling:

It’s as close as I’ll ever get, too :slight_smile:

#18

I’ve never even heard of Ferragamo bags :oops:
Both bags are beautiful!

#19

YUM! That is a cute bag! Wouldn’t it be great if there were some handles with some leather at the top like the original? I’ve never seen any but that would rock!

#20

I love Ferragamo… their shoes are really pricy, trendy and and beautiful.

Whoaaaaaaa! That’s a gorgeous bag… but IMHO, no bag is worth that money… the clone is not bad at all!.. That would be a completely different project for me… I’ve not ever made one… :XX:
