September 2007 Class Projects

Hi Everyone,

We have attached pictures that will give you a birds eye view of our class projects for September. Double click on the pictures and you can enlarge them for a better look.

This is our Lace Accessory Bag from "handknit HOLIDAYS". I used Trendsetter's Pakucho 100% Organic Natural Cotton for the pouch and found a cute floral print fabric for the liner and completed the bag with a pink rhine stone zipper to add the finishing touches. This is a great project and lot's of fun to knit. This could just be the perfect gift for the upcoming Season.


In class on Wednesday evening, I started a Lace Carpet Bag using Rowan's Yorkshire tweed dk. I love the way that this bag and yarn is coming together. I am going to work five rows of the lace scallop pattern and finish the bag off with this paisley liner and find some cute leather handles to complete the look. Watch for the finished project, so far everyone is talking about this bag.

This is the Reversed Cabled Scarf. The great thing about this project is that your cable looks the same on both sides. The yarn that I used was Marl La by Classic Elite Yarns which is a bulky weight yarn on my size 17 needles. But the nice thing about this project is the flexibility. You can choose any yarn weight that you prefer and your cabled scarf will look great.



I think that you can see that we are going to have a very exciting September at the Knit Affair. These are just some of the examples that I have done. There are always many variations that we come up with during our classes. Come an join in the projects and the fun.
See you at the Knit Affair,
Torey
