5oth Posting!


For my 50th posting I have just finished two felted bags. This one is for myself and is from Rowan Felted Collection. I knit the main part in Rowanspun DK and the strap and pocket in Rowanspun Aran. I ran out of DK yarn so had to order the Aran on line as this is a discontinued range. However I am very pleased with the bag. I lined it in a fat quarter of Kaffe Fasset fabric which I have had stored for a couple of years.









Next up is a bag for my daughter G. This is a pattern I worked out myself and is knitted in the Rowanspun Aran which I had left over from my own bag, and the striping is a skein of Noro Kureyon which was in my stash and again the lining is from my own store and also Kaffe Fasset's. The badges I bought at Paperchase in Border's.
My own bag felted well at 40C but G's bag took two felting attempts at 60C. Its amazing how Yarns differ when felted.
I can't believe that I have posted 50 times. Little did I think when I set this blog up that I would still be blogging. I really love it, but the most enjoyable is blog reading. It's so addictive, one could easily spend hours just reading. I have met so many great people also in 'blogland' and can really indulge in all the knitting blogs and sites to get great patterns and tips.

I really like both the bags - the first one because of the way the colours play off one another and the second because something simple like those badges brings it all together. They're lovely.
