A tale of 2 Noni's

This is a tale of 2 Noni Skinny Baguette Bags.

Way back last year around February 2006, two friends saw this bag and had to make it. One friend (whose Noni is called Hot Pink) started in March 2006 and finished January 2007 . Her friend (whose Noni is called Cool Pink) Finished much sooner June 2006.

Both friends agreed it was an interesting pattern to knit, many emails were exchanged to try to figure out a few things! Once they were finally done...they sat and aged while the two friends got busy with other knits, and besides, they were Spring/Summer colors, so they didn't want to be out of style or anything!

So, finally Hot Pink said we need to get them ready for this Spring so Cool Pink traveled across the miles to stay with Hot Pink and get all decked out.

Hot Pink would like to thank Wendy Knits for the information on making the loops to hold the handle hardware. Her suggestion of doubling the grograin ribbon, stitching it, then tacking it to the inside of the bag was very helpful! Hot Pink would also like to thank whomever invented long needles that one would use for doll making, stuffed animals, etc. as due to using such long needles, Hot Pink did not have any sore fingers while sewing!! That makes Hot Pink a very happy camper.


So here is Cool Pink getting her lining and zipper attached. She too had the Pink ribbon treatment.

Here they both are getting their feet properly placed.

Here's a pose with their Acrylic Faux Bamboo handles

Sigh..here they are, Hot Pink is not as smooth and refined as Cool Pink. Hot Pink is a little bit frumpy right now. She needs a salon treatment and steaming session to smooth out her wrinkles.

BFF, although Hot Pink had to show off her colors, Cool Pink was very understated and just let the swirls do the talking.

Sniff...Hot Pink saying good-bye to her pal Cool Pink. Have a safe trip. Hope to one day hang out again!

There will be a few more pictures another day for Hot Pink. She's got a few issues going on right now.
