Three for the Road
I am currently knitting this bag as a store sample. It is the
"Three for the Road" bag from the book (Bags a knitters dozen) www.amazon.com/Bags-Knitters-Dozen/dp/1893762203
Let me warn you that if you have this book or are thinking of buying it, check out the corrections here:
www.knittinguniverse.com/books/bookscorrections/Bags/bagsweb.pdf There are many errors and clarifications in this book. Anyhow, the pattern comes in 3 sizes for 3 different weights of yarn. I am making the medium sized bag using Cascade Alma. It is 54% cotton and 46% viscose. I like the color of the bag, but I am not used to this textured style yarn. I did not use the yarn called for by the way. The pattern called for ROWAN Pronto (50% cotton, 50% Acrylic) The Alma is like a chenille and satin cord wrapped together and is knitting up with odd loopy things popping out of the finished fabric. It is the chenille part that is sproinging out ; ) The yarn shop people, have assured me that it is the nature of the yarn and not to fret about it. I guess that I will be expanding my horizons and knitting with all kinds of fun fibers, now that I am working at a yarns store.
So without further ado, here ya go....

I love the colors of this! After seeing it in person last night, I will be curious to see how it blocks out and sits on the handles. The yarn has beautiful texture too. You go girl!!
Love this colorway! Look forward to seeing the FO!
