I’ve got a springtime cold — BOOOOO! — and have been feeling under the weather these last couple days. The good news is that I got to catch up with my soaps, but the bad news is that I haven’t made much progress with my purse.
I feel a lot better today, though, and raring to get some work done!
This isn’t exactly the first time I’ve made a knitting bag, I made something very similar to my first prototype for my friend Katie for her birthday last year. I asked her to send along some photos, take a look:
It went together really well, and that’s when I started thinking about selling a knitting purse. A few months later and here I am!
I tested out “my rough sketches”:http://karissacove.com/journal/2006/04/13/rough-sketches/ and made the first prototype — Don’t mind the colour combo, I just used some scrap fabric I had hanging around:
I ended up moving the needles to the side panel and added two extra pockets, for those on-the-go knitters who need a cubby for their iPod and cell phone. Here’s some photos of the inside:
I could tell even as I was sewing it, this purse is just TOO BIG:
The main problem is that I want a way to bring along needles — I guess I’ll just have to brainstorm some more ideas to accomodate their length, because the purse has to lose some bulk.
