I wanted to do something different so I thought about knitting little sacks that can hold small items. Inspired from :icon: I decided to use pixel art on my knitting. Mario items are so cool!
I used a crochet hook to chain stitch the rope that closes the sacks and added beads at both ends for decoration.
I was originally planning to use a knitting technique called Intarsia on the sacks unfortunately it came out a disaster on a test I did. So I used darning stitch to sew the pattern on instead.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE. Oh gosh, so cuuuute~! I'm a huge fan of both knitting and nerdy purses/bags... this is so great! Huh, I wonder why intarsia didn't work... I always use intarisia, because I can never get duplicate stitching to look right.
They're precious! <3 Did you just thread the drawstrings through, or knit actual buttonholes? I've been thinking about trying drawstrings, but I'm skeered. ^_^;;;
Ahh, don't give up on intarsia! It takes practice, but once you've got it, you'll really get hooked! ^_~
I made several button holes for the sacks, it took me a few attempts to get the right number of button holes to get the sack closed tightly. you should definitely try making drawstrings it'll look great with your intarsia! I'll keep practicing on my intarsia hopefully I'll be as good as you.
I have a "how-to-crochet" book, I really should learn (I know this is knitting though).
