umm yeah i will do... you might have to wait until i get the chance to do it on photoshop tho - i did it by hand... i adapted it from a cross stitch pattern my friends mum used to make a group of us matching pictures i dunnno if she made it tho or where she got it from, il post it in the discuss future projects board - oh and feel free to use it on the bag... mines turning out pretty well i made the chart originally for a beanie for my friend, i had to make me something with it tho... its sooo cute

i'm currently working on the backpack, i'm wondering because this is kind of weird..i'm working on the lower front bunny on row 12(i'm not doing anything under said bunny) is one row a knit and a purl. or just a knit and then the next is the purl? i'm not sure if that is really clear, but it seems like mine is quite tiny to what it looks like it should be. if i kniw one row then purl the next is that equal to one row in St st?

please help.

each row in which you work across all of you stitches counts as 1 row, regardless of whether you are knitting or purling, hope that helps, there isn't very much space under the bunny so ur probably doing it fine, for the chart you knit across the first row followin the chart form right to left, and then you purl across the next row following the 2nd row of the chart from left to right and so on. It helps to mark every second row before you start on the chart and then tick each row off or put a lline through it as you go.

ok, well i figured it was just the way it looked, tiny and kept going. i'm up to the ears on the bunny chart, but my intarsia looks aweful. i know what everyone means by there being stings like the back of those socks and stuff, but mine have string on boths sides so it's not smooth when i weave, it's all lumpy!! help?

I made this a few years ago, before I got my digital camera, so never photographed it.  Well, that's taken care of now. 

The zipper pull is a shrinky-dink banana.

Clever! Zipper pulls are so cute. Good choice on the color of the zipper too.

This was the first thing I knitted from SNB and really the first thing I knitted other than a scarf.  It looks a little lopsided and lumpy but it has just been through a lot.  I made it about a year ago, and still carry it from time to time.  It's made from some cheap pink acrylic I bought at a yard sale and some scrap black acrylic.
