Helen's Bag for Jessica

My lovely cousin, Jess, is moving back to Canada so I made her this bag as part of her leaving present. I took this photo at Crafternoon 12 at Kim's house yesterday although, ironically, I made the bag at home before I went, thus making myself really quite late. Go figure. Incidentally, the bag is modelled by our other Jess who is currently expecting the first Crafternoon baby. Expect a lot of baby related crafts in the future (baby neckerchiefs).

Helen's Neckerchief for Kim

This pattern is my new favourite thing. I knitted a version in wool first, following the pattern exactly. I then made this one for Kim's birthday using cotton and adjusting the pattern by narrowing the overall width and lengthening the tails. Everyone can expect one of these for their birthday for the foreseeable future.
