Knitting with fabric

Here is a Finished UFO. I started this bag a couple of years ago and lost interest. When I was cleaning out my yarn bins I found the kit and decided I needed to finish. So I only had to knit one side for the bag I had already made the first side so within about an hour I had the second side done. I then went downstairs to my sewing area and sewed the kit together( pretty simple). I love the bag but I think I am going to redo the handles. I like a little longer handle. I was thinking of braiding some fabric and making new handles to match. Here is a couple of shots. I will reload if I redo the handle soon.

Monica




Sorry I have not posted lately. Summer sure keeps us all busy. Between vacations and daily life I feel like I am running full speed ahead without a life-line!!

Here is a quick knit project I finished for my daughter. It is the Monica ruffled Tank Top from Summer Knitty.

I used TLC cotton plus in pink and green for this cutie. I did make some changes to original pattern. I did a 2x2 ribbing at the bottom and knitted the top in the round.
