linen & lady slipper market bag



If you love to traipse thru a farmer's market as much as I do ~ you must never forget your market bag.  And when that bag is hand-knitted?...well, you have just sweetened the pot.


I am trying my hand at intarsia knitting & I love the whole idea of this technique ~~ ok...seriously LOVE that I can knit a pattern with just 2 simple colors & it looks like something so labor-intensive.

The pattern is this Harvest Market Bag  from this must-have book:



I think about this bag when I go to sleep at night and when I wake in the morning.  ...You can really make something so wonderfully beautiful with a simple stockinette stitch??... 

I know.  I frighten my family when I obsess about this stuff.



And obsess I do because I even love the back of it.



This is the yarn I used:



...and I can't seem to put this project down.  Wait 'til I knit the handles in a round and insert twill tape to finish it off!

Whew.

Such. Excitement.

Well done on exploring new knitting techniques. I dont know how to do intarsia myself (I can do colourwork on dpns tho) but I keep seeing lots of intarsia technique explained in hand-books for knitters. It's on my to-do and to-learn list :)

your knitting is coming on nicely. the knitted motif looks very interesting. looking forward to seeing the finished bag.
