715g (3.6 skeins) of the bigger chunks of ripped BMFA STR Heavyweight. 10-08-2015 Cast on prior to #alumholiday road trip so it could be knit on during the drive. By the time we got going, I had the body memorized. 10-15-2015 end of #alumholiday and I have 6.5” of the 11” I have planned on…
Started out doing bottom up with plans to kitchener, but then my cast on wasn’t as pretty as I liked, so I flipped it on end and seamed up the cast on edge for the top. did several tack stitches to define the ears. It’s a little loose after wearing all day, but not bad….
After viewing a variety of projects that used this pattern, I chose to make a 3 color version instead of two because that’s what I had. And it ended up that I was able to do a 3 color version with only 3 skeins instead of 4. Used the two-color brioche instructions for section 3….
swatched on several diff sized needles, and the larger swatch was so much more helpful to see this new technique. short rows are rockin’.
Started with a double stranded bottom on dpns and then increased out gradually. Using a mesh stitch for the body of the bag. On the top decreases. 4/1: Finished handles, just need to weave in ends and take pictures.
