Rag bag

I have gone bag crazy.
It seems that I'm not feeling inspired by my usual fantasy dress flow.

Ballet Pink Bag

Acrylic Red Heart Yarn Bag

Here in it's really early stage's, a few yarns lined up to make this an interesting fabric.

Other Inspirational bag ideas.......

Knitted ends bag.(I always keep the little ends when sewing up a project)

Alternative bag. (VHS)

I think that the bags will be a great start to my Etsy shop.
Below is the link to my empty shop that will soon be full of lovely one off original crocheted and knitted bags;-)

Triangle shawl

Up close my pink edging stitch

I'm now thinking about what to use to hold the shawl closed, I test ran it this afternoon with a broach and I think that I will have to make at least one more row of triangles as the back part is sadly too short for me;-(.

But I still love it.........

HodgePodgeArts

Promoting.........

Karen Turner I discovered her on the UK Handmade blog, I think that she he defiantly worth taking a look at. Her fabulous delicate ceramics are very pretty, very inspirational.

Friday's

Friday Morning

Triangle shawl

So far so good, I have joined all of the triangles.
Brick built triangles.

Project bunting almost, I have made two row's. With the two rows
my plan is to then attach by a middle seam and then I have one more
ball of hot pink to edge the shawl.

If I decide that it is big enough, but maybe I need yet more triangle's.


The Land lord builder's, are definitely affecting my Mojo!

I'm keen to have the old house fixed up but the banging and the drilling and supervising the dog and the builder.

It is really affecting my knit and blogger Mojo I just can not concentrate;-(

She was here to visit for a few days so that we could chat and knit.

we have an awful lot in common (knit wise) so many similar idea's, so many knits/crochets

So little time......... but bloody Mary! when we fly..... a total freaky co-incidence.

A few of the projects

A lot of scarfs, the two differnt size needles (popular)
And so a few trip to Garn Studio.

My triangles,Angela (custom pattern) and Celines baby dress not to mention Sabine's bright green felting for a !st attempt felted bag project
