I thought I'd have a go at a tote bag and cut into some a fantastic vintage tablecloth for the 2 panels. I think these panels might work well as part of little dresses. Add that to the list of 352 things I plan to do before this baby comes.
I am trying to make the list smaller - I cast on the Babies who lunch Cardigan from the Sublime book using some Sublime yarn made of merino, silk and cashmere. So smooshy and perfect for a newborn baby.
The tote bags look so nice and bright with the vintage fabric. Your knitting looks great too, cant wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteTablecloths? Amazing colours and pattern. They look great. Should be a definate stayer or regular.
ReplyDeleteThe totes are just gorgeous with those panels. And yes, they would also look great featured in some dresses...
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to seeing the finished cardigan! And those vintage panels really pop!
ReplyDeleteohhhh great idea on the bags.... gives me lots of ideas.... thanx.

The edge on that cardigan looks amazing. I'm not familiar with the book you mentioned, so I'm anxious to see the finished item!
ReplyDeleteAs always, kate, i love these two projects!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of the bright vintage fabric against the dark fabric of the tote bag. Looks great. I saw that sublime yarn in my local yarn shop the other day - it is very smooshable!
ReplyDeleteCute tote bags! You do not have to get all of that done before the baby comes, he/she will never know! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe fabric looks great on the tote!! I love the egde of the cardigan... Can't wait to see it finished.
