Despite being £9.90 for 100g it was worth buying.<br> Anyway I have made a wonderful rock climbing chalk bag. Basically I made a hexagon by casting on 12 sts, increasing 1st either side of every other row and then decreasing 1 st either side of every row until a hexagon is made. I then knitted a long rectangle with YO every few sts at the top to put i-cord through to act as a drawstring. I then added a chinese coin and am thinking about doing some silver embroidery on it!</p> <p><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff77/beccasnowball2/chalkbag.jpg" alt="" title=""></p> <p>I still had more than half the wool left and I found this hairband pattern: </p> <p><a href="http://www.cyn.ca/knit/patterns/bamboozled/ "> HERE! </a></p> <p>It claims to be 'fairly easy' but I'm finding it very hard having to do YOs, ssks, two kinds of cable and slipping stiches in one row!</p> <p><img src="http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff77/beccasnowball2/headband1.jpg" alt="" title=""></p> <p>It's a bit dodgy looking though hopefully shall improve as it grows!</p> <p>Becca xx </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://knittingmadness.blog.co.uk/2007/11/10/mmm_100_hand_dyed_peruvian_wool~3277146/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
