March 52 Week Challenge







Here is my progress on my March 52 week Challenge project. I didn't use a pattern - just CO 60 stitches on size 11 circs - K 30 rows - PU 30 stitches along each side and the 60 CO stitches, and then round and round and round - I changed to the green Paton's wool after using up all of one ball of Galway wool, Then back to gray after using up the green, then a little more green and the green straps and tab. The top picture is before felting - about 25 inches tall - the middle is drying and blocking after a hot bath.

This was my watching T.V. mindless knitting, and I love it!

Wonderful bag!! I have some Galway in stash, maybe it's time to make a handbag. You did a nice job on this bag, and the colors are great together.

Sorry Adrienne - this bag has already been gifted! I actually did put the yardage in my original post (photo of the yarn)- I used two skeins of the gray Galway @ 210 each = 420, and almost two of the green Paton's @ 220 each = about 400 - so about 820 yards.
