#Handmade - Shawlette Wellenreiter

Stitch pattern from ’1500 patterns’ - I am sure there’s already a shawlette out there, designed like this.
I just had this in my head & it needed to come out :-)

Should I add some buttons? Should I write a pattern?

#Handmade - Banana bag

Made with 'Banana yarn' from Nepal - gift from a friend.
The yarn is made from the fibers of the Banana tree trunk.
The old parts of the tree trunk are peeled off, soaked and then worked into fiber.....or something like that :-)

The bag's small, but big enough for small projects or just 'stuff' :-)

Notes

CO 202st with 2.5mm needles….what a pain….!
:-)
I hope I don’t have a twist,…

Didn’t have a twist, but managed to get one in after the arms when joining everything.
I caught it in the third row, never knit stuff like this when tired.
I left it though and just knit straight over.
There’s a little bump, but I can live with that ;-)
That’s just me :P

I did up the number of st to 220, I hope it all works out. Trying it on with the cable needles is for some reason a pain itb this time.

At the next shaping part I reduced the st to 210.

And following the pattern from there.
I should have added another Inch, going on 23” instead 22” before knitting the last 6 rows.

The strap in the back could have been a bit longer too.

That’s what you get when you don’t do a gauge and just go ‘pi thumb’ ;-)

Funny, this yarn knits much more even in stockinette when knitting through the back loop.

Looks much better in real Life than here :) Odd angle, sigh!

#Handmade - Sockalicious

Finally a pair finished again :-)
This one's for me.
I really dig the 2-socks at a time (toe-up) method.
They always fit and are comfy and I can knit until the yarn's finished, if I want to :-)
Plus, it takes only half the time as normal socks, no kidding.
