Market squares bag

Finished bag. I love it. Can't wait to start using!!!!!

Market Squares Bag

Well I did get a chance to felt my finished market squares bag. I will be making the linning and getting braided brown leather handles this week to completely finish. It felted really nice . I like how fast the Wool of the Andes felted. Two cycles on the washing machine and then I popped in the dryer for a couple of minutes. I now have it stuffed with plastic bags to finish drying and shaping.

Flower Basket Lace Shawl

Next project up is going to be Fiber Trends S-2014 Flower Basket Lace Scarf and Shawl.

I purchased some Lorna Laces Shepard Sock yarn in Tahoe Color Scheme ( see pics).


Can't wait to begin.

Market squares bag

The mail did finally come. I have been working on this bag since I got the yarn. The pattern was pretty easy to follow. I used Knit Picks wool of the Andes. I hope to get a chance to felt tomorrow before Katie has to report for her Showtime ( Nutcracker with the Westmister Ballet Theater) .

I will post the after photos soon.

Still waiting by the mailbox

I can't believe my disappointment. I thought for sure my yarn would be here by now. Maybe today. I will let ya'll know later.

Still waiting by the mailbox

So much for the mail. Waited all day and just checked no package from knitpicks. I guess I won't get the package now until Monday. I will have to find something else to work on until then!!!!

Waiting by the mailbox

Patiently I am waiting for the mail-lady to arrive. I checked my order status at knitpicks and it is slated to arrive this afternoon. I can't wait to see the yarn colors I choose here in person. I have already gone and used the free coloring program at WWW.knittinguniverse.com to try out what colors I liked and now I am anxious to start. I will have a lot of down time next week and hope to get a good head start on the entrelac. Will post pics later when yarn arrives.

Happy Knitting

Knitting for the Holidays

Whats everyone working on??? I hope to make a market squares bag soon. Just ordered my yarn from knit picks had a hard time deciding on colors. So much yarn so little time.

I am looking for quick little gifts to knit up for friends and family. Last year I did miniature sweaters. This year I am thinking of miniature socks. I just finished cute felted tea cups for birthdays.

Hello,

I have spent the morning reading a lot of blogs about all sorts of knitting projects. I have decided that I need to stop reading and get knitting. Current projcets: Lace scarf with beads, fun fur scarf, and booga bag. I am going to make the booga bag a little bigger so I can use for a purse. Haven't decided on the yarn color yet. Will add some photos soon.

Off to sit and Knit
