a new bag ~
I’ve been in a “bag” mode lately – seems like whenever I want to run out somewhere with my knitting, I can never find the right sized bag I need for the moment. So last week I whipped up this ticking stripe sling-tote from French General Home Sewn - fabulous book I must say. It is full of inspiring patterns to be made from hemp and linen fabrics, which I can't wait to try. Since I already had this ticking waiting for something to be made out of, this was my first chosen project from this book.
So this morning, I had just what I needed for an outing straight to the backyard to watch my kids play. It was an absolutely perfect morning, the air cool and fresh, with knitting on my needles, and a new bag in hand.
