New Bag Preview

Lynn is pondering Arboreal for her next knitting project. The yarn she is looking at is Lore from The Fibre Co. Her debate is whether to knit it in blues or greys. 

Arboreal is worked seamlessly from the top down. The stranded yoke is worked and then short row shaping is added on the back to shape the shoulders and neckline. The sleeves and body are separated and worked top down. Optional, gentle waist shaping makes for a feminine fit. It’s fun and meditative to watch the leaves grow as the yoke is knitted. The chart is easy to follow and memorize and is suitable for a beginner, calling for only two colors. This design lends itself to many types of yarn and color combinations: Choose 2 colors for simplicity, create a faded effect in the yoke background, or simulate a turning leaves effect by creating a gradient with colors of your choice.

You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry. 

 

A refreshing take on the classic saddle bag, designed with makers in mind. Rugged yet refined, the new Saddlebag sports ample carrying capacity.

Here is a sneak peek at new bags coming at the end of November. They are waxed canvas with leather handles.

Our new Messenger forgoes the standard zipper for a roll top. Fill it up with your project and notions, then roll it down as far as you need before securing it with the genuine leather strap.

Finely handcrafted in waxed canvas, this roll-top messenger has a cool vintage look that will always be in style.

I won’t know the pricing until next week but I wanted to share right away. 

Inspired by the classic rucksack, we designed a versatile unisex backpack for traveling and crafting on the go. Created from waxed canvas and genuine leather, our backpack has been designed to be the ultimate carryall.

I can’t wait for them to arrive. I first saw the bags a week ago and had to wait to share.

Before dinner we put together our Halloween goodie bags. The kids who come to our house are going to be happy.

We’re going to set a table up outside so the kids can walk by and grab their bag. No contact here.
