I began this knitting journey in February of 2005. Thanks to a gifted teacher, by the name of Roxi, who said that she could teach anyone how to knit. And she did because now I'm a knitter. These are my projects. To think that these creations are really just a very long piece of string, tied into a bunch of slip knots, with a couple of sticks, is amazing to me.
So I love the Rose bag, then I heard that Nicky Epstein was coming out with another book, Felted Flowers. That gave me an idea. I could knit the body of the bag Spring Green and then just make a bunch of different flowers out a variety of different yarns and then put them all together like a Spring Boquet.

Another bag from Nicky Epstein's book is the Rose Bag. (Don't worry I don't plan to make all 15, but I think I will stop after 8) The example in the book was made out of lavendar and purple. But I thought black and white with some super fancy beads would make a great evening bag. Then I thought to add one red rose for a little excitement. It turned out great and was super fast to knit. even the 30 roses went pretty quick. This was a lot easier to put together than the Wisteria.

Katie's a knitter now (yeah)! This was her very first project & it is remarkable. She took to knitting right away and is a very even knitter. Now she has begun project #2, a felted bag. She needed to learn how to purl and she couldn't wait for me, so she made friends at the local knitting store & viola', she's a knitter and a purler. Can't wait to show off project 2 when its all done.
