Funky knit bag with bamboo handles
Posted on | January 26, 2005 | 3 Comments
We’re planning a wedding…so I’m under strict instructions to keep my spending under control. So since I really want a new bag I’m going to make one instead. I discovered this great tinsel pattern over at knitty.com.
My first step is going to be checking out some local craft stores here in Houston to look for some nice bamboo handles. Then instead of fraying metallic fabric for yarn I’m going to use some recycled sari yarn that I was originally going to used for a scarf.
A new bag for about $25! ($20 yarn + $5 handles)

Yarns 2 Ewe is a great knitting goods store in Houston that sometimes carry bag handles as well as some awesome yarn. Might be something you’d want to check out besides big craft stores like Michaels or Hobby Lobby or something like that..

Thanks for the tip! I am going to try out that store…I went to Joanns but the handles were real ugly. this sounds like a much better idea!
