La primera vez que os hablé del trabajo de "eccomin" fue en una publicación de 2014 y, desde entonces, no he dejado de seguirle la pista porque me encanta todo lo que hace.
Desde el primer momento tuve un auténtico flechazo con uno de sus bolsos de punto: el diseño, el color, la calidad del hilo... ¡Quería tejer uno igual para mí!
En aquel momento yo no imaginaba que llegaríamos a "conocernos" en el mundo virtual y gracias al libro que me regaló en 2016 ya he hecho varios de sus diseños. Sin embargo, la idea de reproducir ese bolso tan maravilloso siempre ha estado ahí y, por fin, me he animado a tejerlo.
Para hacerlo he ido un poco sobre seguro y he utilizado los ovillos gigantes Phil Express de Phildar que compré en "La Lainerie" en Burdeos ya que al ser lana muy gordita hacen que se avance muy rápido en la labor.
Cuando compré los ovillos la idea era utilizarlos para hacer un cuello de lana o una maxi bufanda pero cuando me decidí a hacer el bolso me pareció una buena idea utilizar esta lana tan gordita y, de hecho, me encanta cómo ha quedado.
Esta ha sido mi primera aproximación al icónico bolso de punto de eccomin pero, como podréis imaginar, ya tengo en mente repetir la idea con otro tipo de hilo para que se parezca más a la idea original.
P.D: Otro de mis proyectos de eccomin en proceso...
The first time I told you about eccomin's work was on a post in 2014 and, since then, I haven't stopped tracing her because I love everything she does.
Since the first moment I had a true crush with one of her knit bags: the design, the colour, the quality of the yarn... I wanted to knit another one for me!
At that moment I couldn't imagine we would "meet" each other in the virtual world and thanks to the book she gifted me in 2016 I have already made some of her designs. However, the idea of recreating that wonderful bag has always been there and, finally, I have decided myself to knitting it.
To make it I have played it safe and I have used the super sized Phil Express skeins from Phildar that I bought at "La Lainerie" in Bordeaux because as it is a bulky yarn the knitting is done really fast.
When I bought the skeins the idea was to use them to make a cowl or a maxi scarf but when I decided to make the bag I thought it could be a good idea to use this bulky wool and, actually, I love the result.
This is my first contact with the iconic knit bag from eccomin but, as you can imagine, I have already in mind repeating the idea with another type of yarn so it looks more like the original idea.
P.S: One more project from eccomin in progress...
