Unfinished Projects
|
I have a few unfinished projects that have been sitting on the shelf for several weeks. One is a sweater that needs a crocheted finish around the edge and two buttons sewn on the front. I have four knitted handbags that need either straps or handles sewn on them and yes, I do have the......Read More

Whats in a Name?
|
I like to name my handknitted handbags . Sometimes the name is really easy and other times I have to think about it and ask my friends and families for suggestions. The danger in asking others for suggestions is that family member and friends can become quite surly when you don’t use the......Read More

Why do we knit?
|
Why do we knit when we have easy access to ready made sweaters, scarves, gloves, socks, and handbags ? It isn’t cheaper and you can’t wear it immediately. I knit because it is creative and exciting to take a skein of yarn or several skeins of yarn and watch it transform into......Read More

Color, Color, and More Color
|
I have already mentioned how much I love to knit in previous blogs and I have not addressed one of my favorite things about knitting and that is color. When I knit a new handmade handbag I find it is really exciting to pick a color of yarn and then add one, two, three, or sometimes even four......Read More

Collecting Yarn
|
When I first started knitting handmade handbags I had not knitted in several years and I started out fresh. I did still have a collection of knitting needles but all my yarn had been either discarded or given away. I now have quite a collection of yarn. I have several baskets of yarn sitting......Read More

Make it Fit!
|
About ten years ago I had walked into a yarn shop and saw a beautiful pink sweater with mohair and ribbon yarns that I just had to knit. I bought the yarn and knitted the sweater. Even though I had knitted the right size it just didn’t fit the way I wanted it to fit. The shoulders were......Read More

Finding the Yarn
|
I find patterns for hand knit handbags , sweaters, scarves, etc. in many different places. Sometimes I see them in magazines and since magazines are more current than books I think I will try to find the same yarn used in the picture. This really turns out to be a problem. I recently saw a......Read More

Lace Patterns
|
I was recently looking through my knitting magazines to find an article I had read on yarns. Since my last blog talked about how hard it is to find yarns, I thought I would reference the article I had read. Of course, I couldn’t find it but while I was looking through the magazines I......Read More
