I've been working on finishing up some knitted bags that I started way back in Dec. '06, way before this blog, but I want to put, or I guess document someway that I've actually been working on projects. Those other pesky bags are working their way back underneath where I don't want them --- maybe some more tea bags!!!!
So here goes, the Brea bag caught my eye way back, and I've finished it except for seaming the gusset and finidng a strap (when I finish I'll post picts). But me being me, I didn't use the berroco yarn, I used a superwash Cascade 220 in a gorgeous rusty orange (doubled) and it came out great.
Next I started a felted bobble bag. This is done except for the felting (it's been too wet to felt anything it'll take forever to dry) and I used Nature Spun from Brown Sheep Co. in light gray (doubled) took about 3 skeins. And I'm adding a calble pocket on the outside which I'm going to felt too because I don't know what will happen to the cables when they're felted (will tell when done). And I'm not doing the bobbles. No way, I hate, hate, hate knitting bobbles.
I'm also trying to finish sleeves for a cushy t-neck sweater that I'm knitting from some great Patons chenille yarn my aunt gave me (they don't make it anymore). She had knitted a sweater front with it and then never finished so I recycled it into my own sweater. I'm trying to think, the pattern came from a book I got at the library...I didn't write down on the pattern, so I won't refer to it too much (or at all for fear of).
And I actually inspired myslef to try one of the Valentine's patterns I mentioned. When I dig up some yarn for those, I'll tell about how it's going.
