In my last blogpost, I was talking about my new knitting pattern for the BYOB ‐ Bring Your Own Bag. This is a pattern for a stretchy, flexible bag to accommodate all those large, bulky items at the supermarket checkout.
I worked the original version of the bag in a “Summer Limes” colourway, using a vibrant green for the main colour and adding contrast stripes of blue and purple. I love the vibrancy of this combination and the way it seems to capture the essence of summer.
However, autumn is rapidly approaching so I have just finished another set of bags, but this time using wonderful earthy tones. I can imagine walking to the shops carrying these bags and kicking through the beautiful red New England sugar maple leaves as they fall all around me....

I worked these bags using Lion Brand Cotton Ease with:
- Bag 1: The main colour in #134 Terracotta + contrast colours of #186 Maize and #122 Taupe.
- Bag 2: The same three yarns, but with Maize as the main colour.
- and Bag 3: Again using the same three colours, but with the main colour of Taupe.
It is remarkable how different each of the bags looks, isn't it? However, they make a beautifully co‐ordinated set when you gather them all together.

Until then – Happy Knitting!
