Why has it taken me over a year to unite this perfect ribbon to this awesomely colorful string bag?
I don’t know. Because I’m super lame? That must be it. Good thing we have the Finish or Frog Knitalong to kick our butts into action.
I finished the knitting on Everlasting Bagstopper several months ago.
I’m embarassed to tell you how long ago I started it, and how long ago I vowed to finish it. Sewing ribbon to knitting, while making sure that it can support like 10 lbs of stuff in the bag, is a pretty daunting challenge. But it fits with my “try something new” theme. And I fricken need to finish this thing.
In other FoF news, I’m very close to the finish line on Exchequered.
With any luck, I should be able to present both of these items to my sister the next time I see her!

Great color choices on all of that. So, do tell, how are you going to attach that ribbon?

That pink & orange is SO awesome – way bright & cheery! And your exchequered is a really great piece of knitting – must try double knitting at some point here, it looks like so much fun (and this pattern looks like so much fun!)

You’re doing great! And… it looks like you’re finishing more than frogging, which is awesome.
