Finished: April/May 2007
Knit Turkish Stitch String bags for my trip to Hawaii.
White bag: knit in Bernat Handicrafter Cotton yarn, size 11 needles, using the round bottom and double-knit shoulder strap from a free knit hobo bag pattern off the web, and the turkish stich body from the above pattern.
Blue & Green bag: knit in Lily Sugar & Cream (3 balls) cotton yarn, size 11 needles, to the exact Turkish Stitch pattern with square bottom & garter stitch strap. (Please excuse my not-yet-worked-in ends.)
Turkish stitch is very easy and quick to work, but when I made mistakes I found it very difficult to un-knit what I had done previously. Thus, the white bag has a few strange-looking areas, although the blue and green bag is pretty much exactly to pattern.
I figure I spent less than $10 for the yarn for all three string bags (hobo bag yet to be posted).
