I'll be quite the pro at picking up stitches when this is all done. Here is a picture after the 5th fan. I've numbered the order I made each fan block to give a view of the construction.
It took almost a full 50g ball to make the 5 fan blocks. I like the fact that with this project is I should be able to clearly estimate whether or not I will have enough yarn.
Now what does any quilter who likes to knit really need? Why a quilted knitting bag of course! I used some scraps from Fig Tree California Girl fabric and did a bit of FMQ practice. It is lined with a shade of Bella blue - not sure what the color is called. (Based loosely on this tutorial.)
I am linking up this finish at Such a Sew and Sew.
Happy Stitching!
Wow, you're going full steam ahead with teh knitting! I think even 50 stitches is too many for me. Love the knitting bag, that fabric is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little bag! I love the pretty fabrics! That is so perfect! And I can't wait to see that amazing shawl finished. I tried knitting once. I just don't think I inherited the gene. Anyway, great job with the bag. Thank you for linking up!
