I have gotten that line sometimes when picking up stitches, but I wouldn't know how to avoid it without trial and error. I still find picking up somewhat mysterious at times. I agree with Bells though, it looks good as part of the bag. Hope you get your summer weather to go with it, soon!Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004330801357642994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240676321733891654.post-11171672605411688032011-06-12T19:45:59.982-04:002011-06-12T19:45:59.982-04:00RR, I'm not usually a pure product knitter but...RR, I'm not usually a pure product knitter but in this case, I just wanted the darn bag!!

I bet it's hard on your fingers? <br /><br />I quite like the line where you picked up stitches. I don't like it when it happens on a garment but I think it adds interest to the bag!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240676321733891654.post-41506083579337428212011-06-12T14:43:16.909-04:002011-06-12T14:43:16.909-04:00re: the flower, I believe it's a species of Ha...re: the flower, I believe it's a species of Hawhorn (Crataegus).

It smells really nice (I have some in a blue jar on the table and it looks so pretty & is all I can smell!). I will do some digging in my plant guides and see if I can figure it out.<br /><br />At least since it's chilly & raining I won't feel guilty about staying indoors to sew. ;)amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240676321733891654.post-69091123005180531382011-06-12T10:32:04.809-04:002011-06-12T10:32:04.809-04:00Though it's all of 40 degrees today...

Anyway, great work on the bag - it came out very cute; I would have given up, I'm sure. Hey, what's the name of the shrub on which it's hanging? We have one, and the flowers are so pretty, but I don't know what it's called.MadMadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550335108031470562noreply@blogger.com
