Sally will have some great blogging updates this week, but before she wows you with her knitting wonders, here is a teeny FO that I finished today. I went crazy trying to find a charm for this bag — I already owned the glass heart, but didn’t think it looked quite right. After searching endlessly (okay, three stores!), I finally decided just to throw this charm on the thing and be done with it.
I like it! I don’t know what my original problem was, but I like it. I am calling this bag “Twilight” for the book and movie: clot red beads and the blood red heart!!
Beautiful! So pretty in red.

Blood red. My favorite color! (No, I am not a vampire nor do I play on TV.)

I like it! I think the heart charm is perfect.

Heart CHARM. CHARM. Not chart. Sheesh. Been looking at knitting charts all day.
I fixed it!

I love it. But then red is my favorite color.

It is very glam. And the name is a hoot!

That is a lovely combination of yarn color and beads. Very nice!

It is lovely and the perfect name too! Did you ever make an “evening bag” sized amulet?

It’s such a sweet looking bag!

OH MY !! The larger “evening bag” sized is fantastic! Thank you for sharing the pic. A few years ago I did make one of the small amulet and thoroughly enjoyed knitting it! Can you share where I can find a pattern for the larger bag and where to purchase “pre’strung” embroidery thread?… assuming that it’s still embroidery thread for the larger bag. I would love to make one for my daughter!

That bag is soo cute. I printed out the pattern, but where can I find needles that small? The smallest I own are 0s. What would go with sz 10 thread?

You are making me want to take up knitting tiny bags with beads.
I am going to have to resist but it is very very hard.
So very lovely.
