\"Amarna<\/a>

Amarna Backpack Finished<\/p><\/div>\n

I rejoice to report that the Amarna Backpack is finished!<\/p>\n

Well, nearly. It is in want of a lining, and it needs a weight in the end of the strap that weighs down the top.. But I have finished and assembled the bag itself, and in the process I have learnt that I am not keen on constricted tubes of crochet – so not keen that I ended up doing broader tubes. They might have taken more yarn, but they involved less muttering!<\/p>\n

\"Pattern<\/a>

Pattern Complete<\/p><\/div>\n

The pattern worked out rather well, I think. It is deeper than the pattern in the magazine, and more complex, because the main section involves three colours in each row. The three yarns tangled constantly while I was working this section, and the pattern hasn’t quite turned out as neatly or as evenly as I might have hoped, but I am still rather pleased that it is genuinely reminiscent of the inspiration!<\/p>\n

\"Straps<\/a>

Straps Attached<\/p><\/div>\n

I may have to change the placement of the straps, but until I have used it a few times – I want to carry sketching things in it – I won’t be sure what will be comfortable, or even useable…<\/p>\n

I went to the knitting shop where I bought the materials just before Christmas, to buy materials for another project, and was highly entertained to find that I am there known as “The Egyptian Bag Lady”, because the project intrigued them so much. So next time I go, I must remember to take the backpack with me so they can see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
