Knitting Project

The bag I was knitting is almost done. I once again need like a foot more of yarn to actually finish the project. That's pretty common for me. Although the first pattern I was going for didn't come out great, the overall affect is quite lovely (or so I think). I made the "honeycomb" pattern the flap for the bag. The rest of the bag is done in a basketweave pattern (k6,p6, k6, p6, k6 repeat for 6 rows then p6, k6, p6, k6, p6 repeat for 6 rows, continue on that pattern forever...) The basketweave came out GORGEOUS. It "fades" to white from blue on the bag.

( pictures! no project is truly complete until the dog/cat lays on top of it, right? )
