no. 2

another cable bag. i may have been late jumping on the knock-off bandwagon but i am making up for lost time now! i used lion brand wool-ease chunky again. this one is not a heathered yarn like the first one. i also added an extra cable section for a little more length. just a plain ivory which is more like the original bags. i know a lot of you asked for a pattern the first time i posted about these. i had to wing it for the most part as people have been a little shy about posting a pattern that is so obviously a knock off. nobody wants to ruffle any feathers and who can blame them. although i don't think anybody is looking to sell these things. but if you want to find some patterns that are similar out there i suggest googling "knit cable bag."

this one was for my friend berna's birthday. because it was a gift i had to do the right thing and line it. it went ok, but definately no where near a perfect job. i will have to keep practicing, this was only my first attempt. i used an amy butler fabric to line it of course!



i got a few emails in regards to purchasing some of my personalized knitting notecards (last post). if you are interested, drop me an email. i'll get together some details if you think you might like some. goodtobegirlATgmailDOTcom.

tomorrow is my monthly knit group get together. i whipped up some fake piroshki (uses hot roll mix). no where near my grandmas but enough to conjour up the good memories of saturdays at her place. i have nothing on the needles yet so i need to get thinking.

and by the way, it really isn't a good thing to stump your doctor. you end up with strange drugs you have to snort up your nose because they want to start eliminating possibilities (in this case sinus issues being the cause of my head pains). considering i am pretty much not allergic to anything, i think it is a long shot - but i'll give it a go. as for the basketful of other issues i have, she again lacked any beneficial information. i'm sure i'll be seeing you again soon dr. m!
