Bag
Thanks to Ann T. from
Texas!
She wrote to me about the bag...
and she just stroke me with the right old
saying.
She wrote: "It
really is wonderful to be able to
"make a silk purse out of sows ear"
.....
And that is just what I did!
 Autumn 2006 - March 2007
|

In the autumn of 2006 we had a
yarn-SWAP in the Danish group of Free Formers. The colours should be
autumal.
|
|
I sent off 10 small balls of yarn and here you can
see what I got back!
Ehmmmm... it was not easy to make something, but
in my head I had an idea of some kind of a bag... but I wasn't able to
start....
During a visit to Denmark in the beginning of
March 2007, I met a Annette, a "web-knitter" (a friend from my
Danish knitting group) ... we exchanged presents ... and I was so lucky to
get to very nice balls of green yarn.

March 2007

This is the front side of the bag.
It is made in Tunisian crochet except for the
applications.
|
|
And this is the back side
with a little pocket for my mobile!
|

Facts about the bag:
1. All the things I
used to make this bag were gifts, unless the yarn for the mobile pocket
which was a left-over of the yarn I sent to the SWAP.
2. I used up ALL the yarn except the "mohair"...
3. I got the buttons (two big and a smaller one) from a friend last summer
(there are about 40-50 years old)
4. The green beads are a gift from my daugther
5. I worked without pattern ... "free forming" out of my head.
Some day I may write down the pattern!

 the
mail I sent to the Danish group to tell about the FRIENDSHIP-BAG
|

hej ff-piger,
jeg ville bare lige fortælle, at endelig jeg går rundt og promenerer
med min flotte FRIENDSHIP-BAG, som jeg kalder den.
tasken er lavet udelukknde af ting, jeg har fået foræret.
den er free form dog uden at være overdækket af scrumpels.... jeg
"måtte" ikke bruge andet garn (se nedenudner) ...
den består af
1. garnet fra vores efterårs-SWAP, dog ikke noget brunt mohairgarn, som
jeg altså ikke kunne få indarbejdet (nok fordi jeg ikke er så meget
for mohair) - dertil kommer, at jeg har brugt lidt garn af det, jeg selv
havde sendt til swappen.
da jeg havde lavet mig den regel, at materialerne skulle være ting, jeg
IKKE have købt men fået foræret, kunne jeg jo ikke lave scrumples til
at dække del hele, men jeg har brugt alt op, dvs jeg har arbejdet med
en tråd til der ikke var mere af den!
2. to nøgler garn jeg fik i billunds lufthavn af webstrik-Annette (basisgarn
for tasken i tunesisk hæklning)
3. 6 perler jeg fik foræret af min datter, da hun havde været i New
York i januar
4. 3 sjove gamle knapper, som jeg fik foræret sidste sommer af en
veninde.
