The Bag knits a bag

I am busy knitting a bag (aka tote) for an exchange. Man, it is such fun - my new fav thing to knit. You can be as plain or as ott(over-the-top) creative as you want.

But, for this swap, I managed to keep my creative juices in check and am knitting a relatively staid cabled bag. I am using variegated yarn from Peru or Chile or Mexico ... one of them Souf American cities!!! So maybe it comes from a push-me-pull-you or a yak or a cactus - who knows ....

(And don't you go thinking the colours look like sha-khi - cross between shit and khaki, the true colours are actually olive green and a khaki yellow - very camoflaugy - well, my swapee did say she liked natural colours and what could be more natural than green and yellow weeds?)

Anyway, I digress .... I was so excited and enthusiastic with the knitting of this bag, that I did this .........

Ooooops!! Broke my circular needle - on its very first outing too.

Nevermind, a spot of superglue and we were good to go again .....

I will post pics of the finished product once said Swapee has received it ... try to control your curiosity!!
