I’ve been a knitting fool lately and it’s paid off! I finished the blue sweater for the shop that I’ve been working on. It think it turned out pretty well.

I hear it’s selling the pattern and lots of yarn. I call that a success.While I was working on that, I decided, why not take a class? Yeah, stupid move. But the class was something I wanted to take and the bag can now go with me on my vacation (tomorrow!).
Before I felted it, I wondered how this

this would be cool.

see, I hoped it would all come together. And what do you know?

Muzzbear says he’s ready to go.
I wish I knew why my pictures all seem to have a slightly fuzzy look to it. I must be shakier than I thought.
I’ve also been working on a lace scarf. It’s no where being finished, but here is the progress I’ve made so far. It’s on size three needles and it’s sock weight. I shouldn’t be surprised that I’m not going as fast as I want.

again with the blur. Ugh. I need to look into that.
Hopefully by the time I return, I’ll have more photos of knitting projects. And hopefully they are less shaky!

The bag would look very cool unquilted, as a touque. I would totally wear it snowboarding.
And you amaze me, didn’t you take like twelve minutes to finish that whole sweater?? I’m a scarf-a-week person.

Bbun – thank you darlink! I had a fun time making it and the yarn is delish.
The bag was also a hoot – a ton of knitting but I’m pretty proud of it.

Mara – I might have to try my hand at that for a hat. Might also have to use you as a model! *laughs*
The sweater did come together pretty fast actually…
But the sleeves took far too long. Blargh.
