See! I knew I would cave.
I have no control. None. But I do have a very pretty little bag! Of course I didn't check my gauge. Me?
Yarn: Araucania - Nature Wool Chunky
Needles: 10.5 US
Pattern: Laines Du Nord "Simple Knits" by Jane Ellison
I do think it needs a little something. I will probably add a lining to it and maybe some velvet ribbon on the inside of the strap (for support) Perhaps a crocheted flower! This did not take me any time to make. I would have finished it in an evening, but I had to pay attention to my family! Jeesh!

So pretty! Don't you just love Araucania? I think they have great colors.

Fantastic. A crochet flower in a contrasting color would be a nice touch.

Yeah, darn those families and real life obligations. They always get in the way of knitting!!! Lovely bag by the way!

Lovely! What's the orange thing in the background? Looks like another handknit.

Oh, I love Araucania--and your purse looks fabulous! Very cute design.

ah, pretty bag! and you've already finished it, so it didn't actually add to your wip list!

How cute is that! I love the flower idea and the velvet ribbon would make it look so shabby chic...divine!

i'm not sure how or if you could do this but one or two words like a phrase (just throwing one out here) - "carpe diem" and multicoloured crochet on the handles would look spot on IMO

What a lovely little bag! ^_^ I love quick and gratifying projects like that. Why not give in to the temptation?

Oooh, that's really nice.

Just checking in again! Happy Sunday! Do you have combs for the carding? I was just reading up on that part of the process this morning. There is sooo much stuff you need to actually spin!
Continue to stir up trouble - I'll be watching! ;)
AJ - aka your SP4
