oh boy, bag #2 is coming soon!!

[woolandflax]

i just placed an order with knitpicks today for some wool and ordered marlo's striped bag pattern. I'm gonna use shades of dark blues and teals and I have a huge ball of Crystal Palace Splash eyelash yarn I'm gonna use in a wide band at the top. Has anyone used that pattern yet? and does it come out big enough to be used as a crochet/knitting bag?

I am getting ready to place an order with knit picks now and can't wait. Some of the colors I saw at the website were awesome.

 

Can't wait to see a picture of you completed bag

Yeah!!! I got my yarn yesterday from Knitpicks and it is perfect!! I was wanting to change shades subtlely from blue to green but was leary of trusting the colors on my monitor. But it turned out great. Here are the colors, i got 2 of each of the 4 and hope that will be enough as they are now sold out of 3 of these!!! I hope my pattern gets here soon or someone can tell me how much yarn the rectangular felted bag on marlo's site takes???

 

The eyelash yarn in some I got on clearance at my lys, it's crystal palace splash in marine. That's what I was trying to match when I ordered the wool.

is that the wool of the andes?

 

I got some of that for a bag, too.

 

Can't wait to see that bag, I think those colors are going to look great!

yes, it is wool of the andes. I can't wait to start on it but have to finish some other projects first.

 

Can't wait to see yours!

Rebecca,

The rectangular felted bag calls for 16 oz of yarn. I'm about to make one to match the small pouch I just made.

Thank you!!!!!! I just went and ordered a few more skeins to make sure I have enough to make both the bag and the pouch to match. I'm gonna use this for my crochet/knitting bag.
