It has always been my tendency. I'm attracted to the harder projects and I decide to go for it, often missing the smaller step lessons offered along the way. With lost wax casting, I chose a large ring with a rectangular stone inlay as my first project. I think I do this because I really don't like the look of many of the easy projects and don't want to own the resulting items.
With knitting, it was similar. I did not really want the little beginner shoulder bags or cell phone holders. It wasn't until I found this item on the
Lion Brand Yarn Site that I really wanted to knit. So while I was in bed after foot surgery, I went online and ordered the pattern. While waiting for my delivery, I made a scarf with a cable stitch to prepare myself for cables, which I had never tried before. Here is the picture of my cable bag. I hope you like it.
If you decide to give this pattern a try, let me know and I will give you my changes. There are several mistakes in the pattern that Lion doesn't update, and I have a change I would offer to you as an option. The handles are attached using crochet, which is how I ended up at a
yarn shop - asking for advice.
Well another baby (named Benjamin) was born to one of my clients and it looks like another baby boy will be arriving any minute. I am surrounded by pregnant women all due in the next few weeks so I'm doing my best to be productive. Here is my next completed gift project. It's the same pattern and yarn as the last baby blanket, but a different color. It's for a girl so go ahead and tell my why you think it should be pink.
