I do want it finished though so that I can have it ready to wear next winter - mainly so that when the urge to knit hits me next autumn I can start a fresh project and not feel compelled to grind on with something started the year before! That will not do.
My workbag pictured here is made out of two special garments. The black was a skirt that I bought when shopping with a good friend, I wore it heaps but as it began to go into its death throes I found I couldn't part with it. Now it has a new lease of life that could go on for some long time yet. The beautiful pure silk lining was a top that I wore to a family wedding that began happily but ended sadly. The silk top remains - stitched into my bag - to remind me that even sad things bring outpourings of God's grace and goodness as time passes.
I love my workbag - it means that something interesting is in progress - a bit like our lives really - 'a work in progress'.
First of all..welcome back Domestic Goddess! So glad to see you here. Your bag is perfect. I love that it has such stories attached to it and to use for your knitting adds another special dimension. Arohanui.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful bag made with memories which has a beautiful purpose in life. I like it.
ReplyDeleteJust love your bag story, so very poignant and so just life. lov
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Must be in our genes the memory thing, I always look at things no matter how old and think I wore the to such and such or the girls gave me that for so and so.
