Fiber and Photography

Random journaling about life, the art of knitting, and my occassional creative endeavours in writing with light (photography).

I finally tracked down a way to work around my problem of logging into my Blogger account! Phew! Anyways, just a hit-and-run post of a recent bag I made:



Let me just say that weaving in the ends for each row of colour took about as long as knitting the whole bag! Not really, but it felt like it. ;-)

That's a seed/moss stitch strap, I think about 5 stitches wide. One thing I learned about doing a strap like this (the hard way!!), is that a seed stitch strap will grow in length, not shrink. Pre-felting the strap was 19" long. Post-felting it was 23". Something to keep in mind!

Another great bag! I just finised one up the other day and it's drying. I'm hoping it will be totally dried by Sunday so I can take it to church with me. I don't have any pictures of it up yet though. Am kind of waiting til it dries first.

another like :) I think the longer strap is a great alternative if someone where to use it as a messenger style bag!
