New Yarn Projects


Working on a cable-knit laptop cover (pattern "Aran Pocketbook" from Bags - a Knitter's dozen). Shown on the left is a detail of the cabling of this laptop cover.

got the cabling all done front and back and now onto a triangular flap f0r the front of the bag. That part done by Wednesday of next week all purling and a p2tog decrease in every row until down to 8 remaining stitchesThen work on getting the remaining point of the flap ready for a button hole. Then knit the bag's strap.

Then block the bag, sew a lining into the inside of the bag and then sew the strap into the base and form the sides with the strap.

And then to sew a button on the front.


When this is finished, I will gift a 12" x 12" square toward an "oddball" afghan made of squares that of which no two squares are alike that is a collaborative effort.


Then onto knitting a flat " 24" x 24" cat mat" with no sides with a pastel fun fur yarn and a similar color of medium-weight yarn "knitted together as one" for a lady with 2 cats that will likely use it.
