Bowl

I saw the pattern for this neat knitted bowl last week and decided to knit it up.  It’s from Garn Studio – Drops bread basket.

Garn Studio - Drops 128-32

I didn’t have the recommended bulky yarn so I had to substitute something smaller.

Bowl-002

Cotton worsted weight – Lily Sugar and Cream in Hot Blue.

Bowl-001

I used size 7 US needles and finished it in two evenings.

Bowl-004

I could have held two strands of yarn together but I didn’t have enough of any cotton yarn in my stash that coordinated so I just used one strand and smaller needles.

Bowl-003

Knit flat and seamed.  It is very easy as only knit stitches are used, however, short rows are involved.  If you want to learn how to do short rows, this would be a great project.

Obviously this isn’t large enough to be used as a bread bowl but I’m sure I can use it for something!

The next time I might try a provisional cast on for a hidden seam.

Making it mine

My friend commissioned a box bag.  I emailed her some fabric choices and she told me what she liked but to surprise her with the final selection.

So I experimented with a two-tone bag.

I like to coordinate the lining with the outer prints and didn’t want to run to the fabric store (only to be disappointed).

Bag-012

So I printed my own.

Bag-6

With a star rubber stamp and Sharpie “Stained” fabric marker.

Bag-4

Random stars on plain fabric.

Bag-1

I love how it turned out.
