The pictures of my knitting-bag-to-be have turned out fine. I used a simple stitch that looks complicated. In the purled sections of the fabric, the yarn gets wrapped around the stitches, which sounds complicated but isn’t. I used a linen yarn I inherited from a family member who was a handweaving teacher. She left me a room full of material, which I use from time to time. Lucky me to have a spare room to store all my stash!
Yesterday I visited a knitting fair in Den Bosch. To be fair
, the fair was about patchwork and emproidery also, and lots of other textile crafts. But I went for the knitting stuff. Of course I bought some stash I have no time for to use, and started a sampler right away. It’s meant to be a shawl, but judging by the amount of stuff I am already working on, that could take a while.
