Native Clam Plate $7.95? What?

Ok, I wouldn’t of believed it if I had not seen it with my own eyes. There is a new restaurant in town called Culina’s. They are on Washington Street where Trupiano’s use to be back in the day. A few places have come and gone, but the newest owner that has inhabited the building [...]
The thermometer out back reads 43 degrees so, naturally, I am thinking about the beach. Well, okay, maybe that’s not really true but if it was I would have the perfect bag to take with me. This is my new beach bag which I knit with a double strand of rayon from Yarntopia Treasures.
What is great about this bag is that it stretches and stretches and stretches. I can put a beach towel, a book, lotion, wallet, and assorted other necessities in it and still have room. It is pretty and extremely sturdy and, perhaps best of all, really lightweight.
The design is based on the same design I have been using for my marketing bags and, when I get them all written up, I’ll make the pattern available. A lot of people tell me that they want to learn to knit lace but are intimidated by it so I got this bright idea. Since the important quality of marketing bags is that they be very stretchy and very sturdy. If you knit them up in a lace pattern that provides the stretch, and if you use a good sturdy yarn, like rayon, linen, cotton, or nylon, they will support a full load of groceries without breaking.
So I designed a basic marketing bag with a fairly wide, comfortable shoulder strap and then knit it up in five different lace patterns. My thinking is this — each bag teaches the knitter a new, basic lace pattern. It’s just a marketing bag so if you make some mistakes your groceries won’t care. And by the time you have knit all five bags you will have learned five lace patterns and then you’ll be hooked and confident and ready to move on to those woolen shawls and cashmere scarves you’ve been drooling over.
When I finished my marketing bags I had several balls of leftover yarn so I decided to make the beach bag. Because I used a double-strand it is larger and heavier than the marketing bags — if you filled this bag with groceries you might not be able to lift it. And I worked it in Old Shale because it is one of my favorite lace patterns, is endlessly versatile, and I never get tired of it. Once you learn Old Shale you will automatically know Feather and Fan and Ostrich Plume just by varying the pattern slightly.
So this is my Learn-To-Lace Beach Bag. I’m working on the instructions now. I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks for reading.
