I took this yarn...
...that I blogged about almost a month ago, and I began swatching. Then I knit a garter stitch bottom and attached a moss stitch kind of border...
...but while taking this picture, I measured this against the tote bag. It'll stretch, but it's smaller than I anticipated. I think I need to rip this whole thing out and start again.
I don't really have any good project ideas. And I need a take along project for Saturdays. So, this is it for now. Since I don't actually have need for this thing, it can take as long as it takes. Or until I find something else to work on.
At some point, I'll switch yarns and patterns, so I swatched a cable pattern that may or may not end up on this.
I'm not even at half a pattern repeat yet, so it doesn't look like anything. But that's okay. I'm playing right now. Just seeing what'll work.
I may get a project out of this. I may set it all aside and do something else. But it's something to keep my hands busy. For that, it's working perfectly.
