A Good Knitting Project
Jul 17th, 2008 by Tana
When I saw this project featured over at Knit Picks, I fell in love. Not only did I love the shape of the bag and how they used entrelac to do it, I absolutely loved the colors.
Except for one. Fern. An ugly green. I’m not much for green, much less ugly green. So I subbed Maple Syrup for the ugly green [the brown in the picture].
I got the yarn, and then I had my doubts. I even held off on knitting the project, worrying that maybe I would have liked the ugly green better.
This morning I finished working the entrelac squares around the middle of the bag. And I am absolutely in love with the colors I chose and how they look together. What can I say?
I can hardly wait to finish this and start carrying my knitting around in it. That’s what you call a good knitting project – great yarn in great colors, interesting to knit and fun to use when it’s done.
Now if only I had more time to knit…
It’s A BAG! I saw it on Flickr and had no clue… but now I know. It looks SO COOL…I can’t wait to see the finished project 🙂
I thought it was a Xmas wreath. Surely someone out there has knit an Xmas wreath. Seems like it would be a fun project, too, and would look cool on the door. I know you love wreaths! But the bag will be pretty, too. I like the mix of colors you chose.
