Cute. Was it a pain in teh *&$!&@* to cut up all of that fabric? Not sure I have the patience for that.

ok this is the funny part lol i bought the pattern, fabric, everything at WALMART they sale it in a bag i got it for 4.00 they run 7-10 $$ for them. So the fabric is already cut for you!!! After you knit it you sew in a lining with a pocket VERY EASY steps tells you how and what to do!

That is going to be sooo cool when it is done! Where did you learn how to knit with fabric? I have some fabric just sitting in my house and I would love to do something fun with it like knit with it. Is it hard to keep the fabric straight.... meaning to keep it so that right side is always "out" so you can see the colors and not the inside of the fabric? Does that make sense? I don't know how to ask it more clearly. :thinking:

Thanks.

Ok you do not have to keep it on the right side at all times. You want to pick a fabric you can see the print on both sides. Like hummm....thin cotton would be a good one to work with....Matalic fabric like on Knitty.com she made a purse with GOLD matalic fabric ...thats what i want to make for me....but i want mine RED! lol..... It really is not to hard cutting the fabric on knitty they show you...I can try and see if i can find it and post it.
