Snowed In




Well today was all about SNOW! Over 12 inches. My husband got stuck in our driveway so we dug out and stayed home! I took full advantage of the time and completed 2 knit bags.

The rectangular one is a little different from my usual style. I used a pattern from "Great Knitted Gifts" and reworked it a little. I never done a pattern before and it was not near as difficult as I thought. My daughter has claimed this bag and I am very complimented that she wanted it at all!

The second bag was just a quick bag I knitted up in the round, lined it with jeans and added an old belt for the strap. Recycled recycle! Ann's Recycled Treasures!

Stay warm and safe!

  3. Yes, the pattern came from the book "Great Knitted Gifts" by Andrea Shackleton & Gayle Shackleton. The original pattern was for a larger bag. They have several more great patterns that I am going to attempt soon.

  4. Thanks so much, I knit and crochet also, but you know how it is, sometimes you need another whole lifetime to do all the things in your head. But I may get to knitting again after all.
