Hooked Yarn

crocheted cable

  • 6 August 2010 1:13 am

You know I said I took that little detour to Hobbycraft on holiday, well here is a pic of my cable, the wool (though rather pink in this pic?) is a lovely blend of wool, alpaca and silk

 

 

It did take a while to figure out, the instructions are not that clear and there was a mistake printed too but I will persever with it.  I love the chunkyness of it and that fact it looks like knit.  I’m think i’m going to make this into a bag, but this has definitely taken over the top of my list of new projects, especially with winter coming!

 

Update:  I’ve finished my bag!  I’m quite pleased with it, if I was to do more I need to tweek it a bit.  The handles are off an old favourite bag that wore out last year, It was perfect in size and I wasn’t happy when I really couldn’t repair it any more, but it lives on!  I’ve lined it with some thick denim left over from some curtains, which give it a bit more structure and I put a little pocket in side for my phone.

    I love it. Love the colour and the mixing of bits of this and bits of that. X

    That’s lovely – I love the pink with green ribbon. Very pretty.
