Knitting + bag obsession

Now that Bri has broken the ice on knitting posts, I thought I would share some of my knitting and bag combos, but before I get started, I wanted to say that since this blog is new, we are posting projects that have been done in the past.  Once this blog gets going, however, we will start being more current! Since these are all older projects, we can't post step-by-step pictures, but we will start to once we get going.

Now on to knit awesome bags!!

The idea originally came from the book Stitch and Bitch by Debbie Stoller, but it is a really simple idea. Basically you just knit a big tube in the round, to whatever size you want the bag to be. Add handles and a lining.. and presto! Very unique, cool bag!

I later made a string of pom poms for it, to make it more wintery looking, and wound them around the handle. This was my first attempt.

Here is the second:

 

Great for fall, and use less than a ball of wool. Handles are easily found in craft stores! You should make one...
