I got a credit card! A mastercard with a picture of Convocation Hall on it :) Now I’ll be able to buy stuff off the internet! But I’ll be responsible of course, and not spend more than I could afford to debit.

I was going to cast on for the ChicKnits LoTech (with mods, of course) but then I realized that I have that mission falls top-down still on the needles. So that’s the next project concentration, and after that shall come the LoTech, Must-Have cardi, and Tartan Jacket (I hope). And I have the DNA scarf for a take-along project, but I might start the Monk’s Travel Satchel or maybe some socks. But not right now.

Interweave Knits Winter Projects!

Bella pics soon as I can muster.

Zigzag bag – the final chapter

After rejecting this lining:

I settled on this cotton fabric.

Tracing the outline of the lining.

Cutting out the lining with my snazzy Fiskars rotary cutter.

The lining.

Mattress stitching the side seam of the bag.

Crocheting up the bottom of the bag.

MANY pins were used to pin the lining in place. It was a bitch.

All done!

Specs:
Zigzag bag kit (purchased at 2004 KW Knitter’s Fair)
5 balls Noro Kureyon 92, with lots of leftovers
Denise needles, US 8
Start date: September 16, 2004
Finish date: September 28, 2004

Quick, fun, and functional! Lining it was tricky, though.

Yes, I get stumped sometimes too…

How exactly would one pick up and purl? Any ideas?

(update on knitting: I’m at the back armhole shaping, so just a few rows away from knitting straight down the back 15″. Unfortunately, my left hand is feeling a bit tingly, so I’m going to try and take the day off actual knitting tomorrow.)

ramblings added at 1:56 – currently thinking about the tartan jacket (again). There’s the yarn issue – do I wait until the yarn comes in (which seems like it could be a loong while), cheat and check if romni or village yarns has it (which makes me feel so bad…maybe someone else could get it for me and I could pay them back?), or change the colours? I’d consider doing it all in the main colour (spice, but I’d have to make sure we still have more, as I currently only have 7 skeins of it), or maybe two colours…like red and black. or red and charcoal.

Also, I have a sizing issue. The given finished sizes are 36″, 38.5″, 41.5″, 46.5″, 52″. As it’s a coat, I’ll definitely need some ease. But 41.5″ seems a little too small and 46.5″ way too big. A 43″ or thereabouts would be perfect. Do I go mucking about with figuring out the numbers for an in-between size? A smart thing to do would be to measure the bust of my winter coat, which is fairly snug. I should do that. Yeah, this is the kind of thing I think about in the middle of the night.

Someone’s made the jacket already…
