A Little Ripple Bag

 One of the projects from this April's Camp Wanna Tat was Irene's Ripple Mignonette Bag, taught by Sharon Jolley. I accomplished much on this at camp, and more on the way home. I put the finishing touches on it after we got home, as well as threading the drawstring. This is not the first mignonette bag I've made, but this has adds and subtractions to give it a chevron pattern.

This bag was fun to make once I found the repeating pattern of rings to bring out 

the chevron look. I brought three colors of thread to try on this, starting with the 

dusky rose. I am glad I put it on the Moonlit shuttle with the hook. It eliminated 

the need of a crochet hook while doing the bottom of the bag. This shuttle also carries more thread than the smaller Clover shuttle I used on the other colors. I used size 10 thread so I could see what I was doing. And made the bag bigger. 

I think the bag turned out so cute! Thank you, Sharon, for teaching such an fun project!

One of the other projects is "Wave" earrings, by CM-Handmade. I finished one in class, but have not done the second one. I've had a lot of other things to work on since we returned from our vacation. It shouldn't take long, if I ever start it!

I'm hoping this post works here on blogspot. I was convinced to change hosts several years ago, but it was never a good fit. Wordpress costs way too much for someone not making money on their blog. I guess I'll find out!
