Being cooped up inside writing papers all weekend meant that I needed something fun to do when I just couldn’t stand it anymore and needed a break. So I was a creative beast this weekend. I worked on 3 papers and a project; and this fabu market bag!
Now if only I could get out of the house and put some newly purchased goods into it.
I posted all the juicy tidbits regarding the pattern and yarn on Ravelry, so if you can (you need to become a member (it’s free)), click here to check it out.
If you’re not a Ravelite, I used Inga Mertens’ Haekelbeutel pattern, and Plymouth Encore yarn in colors 7022 (body) and 0215 (handles).
I did a little something special with the handles. I’m really pleased with the way they came out! I knit (4) 14″ ropes of i-cord and sewed two twisted together for each handle.
Here’s a little glimpse of my project page on Ravelry.
