May MagKnits

Soon I will have something of my own to post, but since it is the last week of the semester, I am a bit under siege.

That said, I was excited to see the new May MagKnits is up!



This version of a plastic bag-bag is really rather well designed and seems like it would be fun to make. The stripes could be killer. As a New Yorker, I have more than a few dozen plastic bags kicking around (seeing as I have not yet gotten the Envirosax I preordered). The only question is... would I really use this bag once knit?



I could see it as being great for taking to the beach or toting around art supplies, or any occasion when I'd want to rinse my bag clean. Come to think of it, that's quite a lot of use.

I keep squinting at the Diamond Girl top, thinking if it were all one color and the ribbing started under the bust... maybe I could love it. The ever so slightly puffy sleeves are fabulous.



Maybe if the diamonds went all the way down the bodice? This might be a really fun pattern to modify.
