mio It started with one:
Then it was many:
Then it was suspiciously familiar:
A slight side-tracking into the joining method:
And now it’s revealed!
Before adding the handle:
And finished!
(well, maybe… I’m debating adding some blue along the tops of the hexes… we’ll see!)
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my Settlers of Catan bag!

1 Comment » March 11th, 2010 mio I mentioned back around Christmas that I was tired of joining my motifs with the whip-stitch. So, I decided, in the spirit of NatCroMo, to give the sc join a second chance.
Some folks really like this join, and I’d always secretly thought that they’d talked themselves into liking it because it was faster and more fun than whip-stitching. I have to admit, it’s starting to grow on me!
It’s not hard to do, as I mentioned, you just hold the two motifs together and do sc stitches into a stitch on each of them, at the same time. Hold them right-side out if you want the ridge on the front, and right sides together if you want it on the back.

They each measure about 5″ from side to side. I’m thinking of joining them with sc stitches… I’ve never really liked the look of that joining method, but I’m going to give it another try, as whip-stitching them all together isn’t my idea of fun.
It’s NatCroMo; I’m supposed to have fun!
