As it is winter now I decided
that the summery bag I knitted earlier in the year was not appropriate and so I
have found another one to use which I knitted a few years ago.
It is very bright and cheerful
looking. Both sides are made up from
small mitred squares. I got the idea
from Kaffe Fassett’s various postage stamp inspired designs. I have just counted the squares and there are
7 rows of 10 – so 70 on each side. It sounds
a lot but I don’t think it took very long to knit. I was just using up odd bits of Colinette
Fandango which has a very short colour change – so every small square is quite
interesting.
I have done very little knitting
this week – I have been too busy – I have knitted half a sleeve! I have a few things I want to get done before
Christmas, but at the moment preparations for Christmas are taking precedence.
I often knit Christmas presents,
but this year I am only knitting one – a small baby’s coat which I intend to
start soon. I wanted to leave it until
the last minute so that the baby would not have grown out of it before she gets
it and it might actually fit her!
