AURA QUE http://auraque.posterous.com MADE ETHICALLY IN NEPAL posterous.com Sun, 19 Jun 2011 12:00:00 -0700 All pieces hand-knitted for the AURA QUE bags........now ready for leather production! http://auraque.posterous.com/all-pieces-hand-knitted-for-the-bagsready-for http://auraque.posterous.com/all-pieces-hand-knitted-for-the-bagsready-for

Finally our AURA QUE hand-knitted panels for the handbag range are now completed!  The women have all brought in the pieces that they have knitted at home over the last few weeks.  All the pieces had to be checked compared to the pattern size, with each piece inspected and cleaned up before I collected them all to take to the leather factory.

The yarn is weighed before the women take it home, and then logged and recorded by weight when brought back in for inspection.
