I want to go thru and dink with the pattern one more time-then I`ll post it, ok? Should be done next Friday.

Its fantastic and very well put together. It looks better than the store bought stuff.

I thing the raspberry HW is going to be gaw-just as well! There`s no doubt that this will win you a blue ribbon. Congrats on a beautiful creation!

I was thinking cotton, but now am thinking wool. Maybe it helps that the humidity has broken after 2 months.

Plus one of my friends from the local LYS has been making the Constant Companion and other Fiber Trends bags, using mostly Cascade 220, and they are turning out just gaw-jus!!]]> Tue, 27 Sep 2005 17:42:24 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=138734 Tue, 27 Sep 2005 17:38:45 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=138734
Bets, I think it looks terrific! You`d better dust off a spot for your blue ribbon. And in raspberry HW, you know that`s gonna be a knockout too. I think you are one smart woman to figure out that bag and execute it so well. (clap,clap)

A few things went wrong and a few went really well. I ordered some raspberry HW today to redo this bag-because-

The errors-
It`s done in bag wool, 4 spi, and it came out REALLY large-about 12X10, which is 1) so big it must be lined or it will be floppy and 2) too big for the modern Miss-that size is reserved for the "I`m the mom and have to carry everyone`s garbage" set.

I set the cable interval at every five rows, and that worked GREAT when I was working in the round, but it also meant that when I got to the flap, I had to cable backwards on rows 10 and 20. I found that this is possible, and honestly, not all that hard, but I realize this doesn`t suit everyone.


What went right-
Fulling helped give it a lot more body
I remembered how to macrame
It actually looks nice
I had set the cable at a wide interval, thinking it would pull closer after a short session in the dryer-and it did
The hardware-I was able to find suede lacing on 25 yard spools, which was pretty helpful, and not all that expensive. The silver loop was a cannibalized pendant I found on sale at Wally-world. I am pleased with the look.

I learned that accurately documenting a pattern is hard work-that must be why there are so many drop sleeved pullover patterns in this world. I want to make this one more time (raspberry HW with beige suede lacing-c`mon, it sounds gaw-jus) before I post it-just to make sure I have it right. Give me a few days on that.
