Flashback Friday: Tutabaq
Much of designing is really problem solving. In this case, one of the problems was how to use a single ball of an eye catching, orphan skein of a novelty yarn at the yarn shop where I worked many years ago. The reality is that I thought it was sparkly and pretty, but other than that, it wasn't really my style. Paired with some wool and fulled to make a cool bag that was constructed rather smartly, though, it became a treasure. This purse is made entirely in one piece, and if you are comfortable with grafting, there is not a single stitch of sewing either. Do you have some novelty yarn from 15 or 20 years ago that you aren't sure why you bought it in the first place? This is a great way to use it.
Tutabaq is available for sale on both Ravelry and LoveCrafts. If you don't want to sign up for either of these, please do contact me and we can work out how you can purchase the pattern.
