Finally, some progress
The start of the Celtic purse using the yarn I recycled and dyed. I like the textured look of this yarn but was worried the lack of any loft or resilience wasn’t going to allow the cables to pop- but I think it’s working out ok. It’s also holding up well after countless froggings. During finalizing the chart I felt I was doing the knitting equivalent of running in place.
Next is a redrawing of the entire chart before I forget what the heck I ended up doing and picking up the stitches along the edge to work the rest of the purse. The cable section will be the front flap with a button closure. Oh yeah, that means button shopping too. Any suggestions for some good button vendors?
Lo-oo-oo-vely!
It looks great – I think those cables really pop! I have been looking for Wilton’s dye to recycle a sweater I salvaged from my grandma’s basement – I think I will dye it green or blue. I’m trying to hold out until the month of Project Spectrum, but dyeing yarn is really fun and I want to do it now!
