Knitability's Got a Brand New Bag


In my previous post I was talking about a new project. Well it is done and it turned out even better than I expected. I will be adding it to my line of Skill Builder patterns for the TNNA show in June.

During Camp Stitches this past week I was teaching an intensive class on Entrelac and thought it would be fun for the students to see what happens between knitting and felting. So I finished up the project and during our afternoon off, went down to the local Laundromat / Tattoo parlor!! We would have gotten tattoos while we were waiting, but they are closed on Mondays.

Although once you get going the knitting is mindless -- the planning and starting of the project is not for an entrelac novice. The yarn is left over from another project I will also be unveiling at TNNA in a few weeks. It is from Ellen's Half Pint Farm and is her Wool / Mohair blend. It felts up with a boucle' type texture which just adds even more interest.

Watch for the pattern coming soon!
