Anyone know how to get rid of these and the person responsible? They are spamming my comments for my previous post...

Fair Isle Book Bag Finished

Finally got this sucker lined. I really like it. Found out that when I do the Fair Isle thing that I knit tighter, so lesson learned. I will be making this again! And I took it to school last week (of course I have one week left and my goal was to finish it before school started, but at least I got it before school ended!)

Next up (after the Christmas rush) is the Triangle bag... it will be my first felting experience. Any tips?

Raffia Ribbbon

I am trying to locate an online source for the raffia (Wraffia Ribbon) used in the Apple Ribbon Tote.  Also, for those of you who have already completed this project, how was it to work with the Wraffia?  Any tips?

Thanks.

linen tube

Hi ,

I finished the front of the bag and after my holiday party is over and my Christmas gifts are in the mail, I will move on to the lining.

This pattern does not call for reinforcing the handle but I am thinking about how I could. Are people finding that a simple crochet or knit handle is strong enough to support the weight of a full bag? I tend to fill my purse to the max.

Happy Holidays

linen tube clutch update

Here is an update on the linen clutch. I am 3 inches from finishing the front. I switched back to the old bernat aluminum straight needles and finally seem to have found some kind of rhythm . It is still not speedy knitting . The tip of my left finger is kind of sore from struggling with this double strand ,knit two together in back of stitch pattern, but I soon will be done with the herringbone stitch and on with good old stockinette stitch. The herringbone pattern that this stitch forms is nice so it is probably worth the trouble.
Usually when I complain about a project this much in the end I want to make another one.
