Love the retro bold print fabrics! Super bag too! x
I have just found your blog because you have been “freshly pressed”, congratulations! I haven’t looked at everything yet, but your patterns that I have seen are beautiful. I don’t have much experience knitting with different colours, but now I am inspired to try. And I love this pattern for the bag, I am definitely going to give it a try.
Last year I was in the UK with my family, helping my mother care for my grandmother who had been suffering from transient ischemic strokes for the past 5 years. It was very hard to see a woman who had been so strong and healthy, barely surviving, and knowing that she never would have wanted to live in such a way. She died at home, which is what my mother wanted, but caring for her took a lot out of my mother. As you said in your post, at some point we will all have to deal with this, as carers or being cared for. However as families live more separate lives, taking on this type of care becomes harder, and shouldn’t be done alone.
My grandmother suffered from migraines, so does my mother, and so do I. I am fortunate that my husband is very understanding when I am sick, and sometimes knows before I do that a migraine is coming. But the connections between strokes and migraines scares me.
I know I am far away, but I hope you don’t mind me putting a link to your blog in mine, your knitting is “hermoso”!
what a wonderful blog. I love to knit and sew : )
awesome!
I just made this bag, what a great pattern, so simple I was finished in no time. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. It is a very good idea for a Christmas present!
Thank you for the pattern. Your fabric is very cute!
Thank you for the pattern! It was serendipity that following the links from Rav about rams and yowes(and wanting to read Textisles, for some months, too), that I finally hit your blog. Just this past week my sister (a new knitter and pink ribbon survivor) asked me for a project bag so your tutorial was and will be a gift! Good reading, great patterns. Again, my thanks. Another Kate
You inspire me. Your eye for detail is wonderful.
My daughter is getting married and I am suggesting she/we make your bag
and give as a gift to her bridesmaids.
Thank you for sharing your talent!
