Bobbles. Inspiration for Bobbles came from this bag. Needless to say, it has a lot of bobbles which may not be to everyone,s liking, but I had never crochet these before so I enjoyed doing it. Also I have to carry around a lot of baby stuff, so I thought it was a classier way to carry it. Crochet part was not very hard but writing down the pattern was. I made the handles myself. Overall I am very pleased with the result. Material:· Acrylic yarn (light fingering) off-white ( I used three strands throughout)· Crochet hook size 4.5 mm· Fabric for lining· Cardboard for bottom· One zipper· A pair of purse handles (I made mine myself) Size: approx. 13 inches in height and 16 inches in width Drawstring with tassels: Using 6 strands of yarn, chain a desired length of drawstring.

Chez Plum » Tutorial: How I make my knitting charts for lace. So, a couple weeks ago I showed a glimpse of the knitting chart I was working on. I finally took the time to make a little tutorial and explain the way I did it. I hope it’s clear enough, or feel free to ask your questions ! (Click for larger pics !!) This one will be the lace pattern used in the Isabeau purse pattern.
I start with creating a table in an Excell-type software (Im using the freeware OpenOffice Calc, here with a french version). First, select all the area of your future chart, go to format/columns/width and decrease the witdth of the columns (I chose 0,53 cm) to create nearly-square cells. Select the area of your future chart, color it in a light color of you choice. Number the rows and stitches, starting at bottom right corner of chart. Then the “real work” starts. Then I copy the “repeat” of my lace pattern below, in another colored area.
The chart is nearly ready.
