Faye Fringe Bag ~ Behind the Design

Faye Fringe Bag ~ Behind the Design

 

I hope you enjoy this little peek behind the scenes of Anna Skala's gorgeous Faye Fringe Bag design. In this beautiful inspiration video, Anna talks us through how this project came to life from swatch to bag. It’s a wonderful glimpse into the mind of a knitting pattern designer and a reminder of all the hard work that goes into bringing a design to life. I love creative people and thinking about the creative process. Anna is incredible and it is so inspiring to see her creative brain in action!

 

 

The thing that stood out to me the most about her creative process was how much swatching she had to do before she landed on the stitch that would become the final design. For me, this bag is ALL about the texture and statement fringe and it's so cool to see the process that led up to that magic. 

 

 

Prior to Anna's design, knitting a bag was never on my radar and now I've made 2 full size Faye Fringe Bags and 5+ of the mini version and I am a total bag knitting convert! I guess sometimes it just takes the right design to inspire you!
