Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, or sound a mantra but I am finally getting around to starting the small knitted medieval design purse kit that I bought from [livejournal.com profile] caemfind at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival last May. The colors are a dark green and an off white. I have of course lost the front card that had a photo of a finished purse for reference. It's somewhere in my paperwork. blech. I've never done two color knitting before.

I have to keep reminding myself...don't pull the traveling strands too tight! So far so good. The tube is appearing and it is not a mobius! Go me! I won't be carrying this project around as I have to concentrate so hard on the chart and the two strands of string I can't really take it as a casual project. I'm up to row 5 now in 1 1/2 hours of work.

I'm determined to do this. I want the little purse and so I shall have it! By Gum!

I'll post pictures when I get a few more rows done and there is something to see.

Update* this morning I was able to knit one row of 72 stitches in only 20 minutes!

You're a much braver woman then I am! Two colors. Far beyond my abilities!

Good luck and I will think good thoughts for you.

Let's hold judgement on just how far my abilities go until we see if I actually get a little bag! ;-)
