Remember this scene from Young Frankenstein?
Dr. Frankenstein: Eye-gor, would you give me a hand with the bags?
Igor: Soytanly! You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the toiban!
So was an entire generation of young moviegoers educated about luggage. There are bags ... and there are bags. I have had some old bags languishing in the stash cupboard for a few months awaiting the correct phase of the moon for the felting process. Here is the first:
This is a basic bag with a rectangular base of garter-stitch and slipped-stitch corners. It is made with Knit Picks Wool of the Andes.
The colors (from the base up) are chocolate, wheat, carrot and pumpkin. I bought the yarn several years ago, so the colors are no longer available. Wool of the Andes is a wonderful all-purpose worsted weight yarn and felts up beautifully. Once I have felted it I will post a pic.
Today, Russell is ...
... bored by classic literature.
