Those sharp-eyed amongst you will spot that there are only 19 in the above photo - I have used one already on the bag:-
I am loving working on this bag - although at the moment it does not much look like one.
Today I picked Broad Beans from the garden and blanched them for the freezer. Have not got a great crop this year and the plants have chocolate rust on them so they don't look good either. But it does not affect the beans snug in their soft downy pods. I must remember to put the plants into the garden waste bag for collection and not put them in my compost bin.
More soon.
I wanted to give a nice Hello and say thank you for joining in on my blog...I like the way your bag is coming out..very nice color..You know what I use for a stitch marker??? it's funny, but I use a bobby pin... the small ones....they slip in the little stitch just right and it stays, much easier than clipping and unclipping the safety pin each time... funny but it works!
ReplyDeleteThe bag looks like its coming along great...I love the color...one of my favorites!!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks lovely even at this early stage and I can't wait to see it when it's finished! these are exactly the stitch markers i use - never use a safety pin as they can get caught in the yarn where the wire twists, so these are a good investment. You can also use a length of spare wool / yarn instead - you put it back and forward with each row so it looks like a "running" stitch by the time you have a few rows and you don't have the hassle of taking the stitch marker in and out. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Ali -I am enjoying working on this alongside the GaD's. I have used that method with the yarn, but this time on the first row it just kept slipping out. x
