Mohair slip-stitch purse beginning This is as far as I've gotten in a couple of days work; the first part was a bit fussy for some reason but it's going better now. I like the striped effect for a handbag; it should be colorful! I didn't make this one as big as I had intended at first. I looked up the cost of the fiber and it was more than I realized. So I'm hoping to get two bags out of this yarn, to reduce cost of materials.
I received the Spring Spin-Off yesterday, and took a few minutes to look it over last night. Lots of knitting projects that are beyond my current skill but some nice spinning tips. I haven't read every page yet but I did enjoy a wonderful article about sheep in Nova Scotia. The illustrations of women spinning were beautiful! |
