My Cabled Bag

My first knitted bag! It was also my first cabled pattern. I am rather proud of it. It's a rather nice repetative pattern, so good for a first timer, I guess. Also the yarn is so scrumptious, one section really reminds me of belgian chocolate! I really do love self patterning yarn. This is a discontinued yarn (story of my k life!)
I knitted the strap seperate and sewed it to create the sides of the bag. The whole bag is lined, in a yummy olive lining silk, though the strap was lined with a co-ordinating length of wide ribbon. It has a loop fastening around a beautiful ceramic button.

I am very proud of this bag.

Gryffindor Bag WIP


Here's something I'm working on right now. It's a Gryffindor fair isle bag. Right now I'm working on the strap. I got the pattern for it here: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/features/crafts/knitting/housecrestfairislebag
Plus that book in the background, Charmed Knits by Alison Hansel, is such a good project book for Harry Potter fans!

The reason I'm knitting this is I'm a Harry Potter nerd. I have been since the books first came out. I'm intending to use this bag when I got to see Deathly Hallows.
