Mason-Dixon: Force for Good


This, my friends, is a whole mess-a buttonhole bags. However, it is also a cool three grand. No joke! Read about it here. This bag has serious universal appeal. Three year-olds love it (Beth's Bunny is getting one made of all the leftovers), sixth graders love it (duh), grown women love it, and I'm constantly amused at the many ways that boys will think of to use it because they want one too, durnit! Yes, I made all of these, and yes, I am ready for a buttonhole break. However, I'll be back! That Lamb's Pride Bulky with her seductive mohair halo and beguiling color range...she won't let me go for long!

All I can say is Wow!
 
Oh, no...! Now I want a bunch of these too. They are really cute. Doubly impressive that they went for such great causes!
 
Beautiful bags! I would love to make some myself but mohair makes my break out in hives. Any suggestions for a substitute yarn?
 
The colors you used ARE wonderful. They are so pretty all lined up. Great job. Wonder how long THOSE take to make? Seeing how nicely yours turned out makes me want to try that next.
 
Jennifer - use any wool, it doesn't have to be mohair ... mine isn't!!
 
I knit a bag using lambs pride worsted, doubled on size 10 needles. it worked fine. I bet cascade 220 doubled on 10 or 11s would do well too (and would not have mohair).

mine started out as buttonhole bag, but I modified it. you can see the results on my blog at http://madorville.blogspot.com/2006/04/mason-dixon-rules.html
 
Okay, great, now I have yet another new obsession thanks to your lovely bags! :):):)
