Majolica Bag Start!

Here it is. My Noni Majolica Bag Start. I am using the Red and Fuschia as the pattern calls for. Go figure. This is the first time I have followed the pattern color just because I love both of the colors. This stranding is a little hard to get use to at first. I am holding both colors in opposite hands so I am knitting English & Conteninetal. I just have to rememeber to always wrap counter clock wise. Other wise my stitches will be on the needle going 2 different directions. I like the bag but I only have the first 8 rows done. This is going to be my weekend project.

Here is the stranding close up. This bag is going to be rather thick. I now know why the pattern calls for so much yarn. I think it is going to be totally cool. Stay Tuned to see what happens with this project. Woo Hoo!
