Rasberries




This is my first "Berry" collection from my "wedding fundraiser" that I am starting. All of the knitted products won't be sold until summer.
The "Berry Collection" will consist of:
Red= rasberries Blue=blueberries Black=blackberries

I am also knitting a lot more of a different kind of clutch, that will have a leathery vinal top.
I think All of my knitted bags will have my mark on them by all having silky liners. I'm soo exited. I have this teal silky fabric that is soo delicious! I just want to sleep in that fabric!

WIP: the manufacturing of purses


So, my wedding is now under two years. That means, I need to make some $$ green $$. I decided to "manufacture" clutches, purses and such to sell as a ... get this... "wedding fundraiser." However, I've got a lot of awesome ideas for really cute stuff. It's gotta be better than taking an extra job and, *yikes,* bagging for a grocery store. I can let my imagination run free. God knows I have a lot of ideas to get out of my head from those late sleepless nights. Does anyone have this same problem-- trying to fall asleep, but you can't because your creativity kicks in around that time?? I signed up for Etsy, just in case I decide to sell online, but I don't think i'll have to do that. My mom works with a lot of women, and they love the bags I come up with. *Cha-ching!*
Here's a WIP:








I'm thinking of doing red silk for the liner. It's still up for grabs. I was going to go for a white and red striped liner, but I'm really into the silkyness, since the top has silky ribbon.
The Bag isn't even sewed up yet, or blocked.

Ok, so as a side note, I'm thinking about doing something like this-

I was thinking about combining the lacey pattern from the "butterfly" from Rowan, and adding fingers. I was watching "Superman Returns," and the lady that is with Lex Luther in the beginning wears these light black lacey finerless gloves. I would add those fingerless elements and make the cuff flare out a little more than the picture.

What do you think?

"All Twisted Up"

Pattern: my own (up on Etsy!)
[RAVEL-IT]

So, here's a bag that I designed a few weeks ago. I'm pleased with the results. I named it my "All Twisted Up Designer Bag." It's made from a few skeins of Barnet's softee Chunky yarn. The liner is a camel color fabric.
