Finished Moira Bag
I finally finished the Moira Bag.
Pattern from Rowan book #27
Cast on at the end of June
Finished at the end of August
I used circular needles and did the whole thing at once.
Yarn: Rowan Cotton Glace
Colors: Ecru, Sky, Hyacinth, Shoot, & Glee
I enjoyed making this bag and will definitely do more knitting using Fair Isle method. I did change up the pattern a little. In my mind I kept picturing it as a round tote. So I decided to make it round. I found some great sued like fabric and used one of my pot covers as a round template and then just sewed the round piece of fabric onto the bottom of the bag. I also lined the bag with fabric. It makes it more user friendly.
Here is a picture of the bag showing the back side and all the ends I needed to weave in
Here is the lining fabric and the bottom fabric.
Here is a picture of the lining sewn into the bag.
This bag is way cute and I am very proud of how it turned out. I have even got a couple of compliments from people. The best part is when they ask where you got it and I say “I made it.”
RAOKed
I have been Raoked. It is so exciting to get a package in the mail unexpectedly. Especially an awesome package like this
This package was from Danielle over at Sassy Gina-D. It included a silver tin, hand moisturizer, hand sanitizer, emery boards, cuticle boards, soap, small sharpie & a little massage ball shaped like a flying saucer. Oh and of course the cutest dog card. Thank you so much for this thoughtful package. I love everything and will use all of it.
September Is Here
Wow, it is already September. I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Here is a picture of my precious baby boy all cuddled up and cozy.

That's very pretty, Tami!
Gorgeous bag. I've had that Rowan mag for years and have wanted to make one of those bags for a long time. Maybe you've spurred me on.
Thanks so much for showing us

Glad you are back and blogging again-I enjoy reading your blog. Just have to agree with the other commenters- that is a gorgeous bag and I love the way you finished it.
That bag is amazing! Awesome job :) And I like the picture of your poodin too ;)
Great job on your bag! Now I want to do some fair isle too. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! That bag looks great. I cannot stand to weave in ends but I am planning to make the bag and duplicate stitch a simple pattern on it instead of the fairisle pattern.
I am so glad you are back. I know, I'm rather late to the party ;) Your bag is lovely and the sewing job looks awesome.
