Learning to double-knit. Used two strands of different multi-colors. Cast on with two strands held together and then started double-knitting. Bound off with two strands on the wrong side to have the same effect on the border. Improved decreases by rearranging stitches as in cable-needle-free cables.

for sale on etsy. Wooden handles. Knit back sideways with a random pattern, and then knitted the two pieces of the front together for added strength. Crocheted edgings.
Single crochet with handle area.
A small clutch that needs lining and hardware still. Seed stitch edges with a slight cable. 2/24: The knitted fabric blocked wonderfully straight. Leslie provided some slightly modern fabric with the same green in it. May need a black cord for the top where the fabric meets the hardware. Finished lining and stitching up, July…
