Here's the product all finsished. :) 

The first picture is of the bag prefelted, the second all felted and fringed!!!  

I had to frog the project I was working on...hopefully I'll get to some of it today!!! It was a shame tho. I had nearly 3 balls of Lopi done, and it was just TOO BIG!!!!!!! I just organized all my links in my favorites...so maybe I'll feel more inclined to add MORE to it. There is just ONLY so much time in a day eh?

YEAHHH

Commercial blog is up and running...very basic, but at least it is "out there" with samples and prices. :) It looks REALLY good. Nice, clean simple..."a clean well lighted place" I hope.

Just got an offer to do a scarf for a friend of mine. Hopefully we'll go shopping this week. I found out about Alpaca Blocle? is that how it's spelled? dunno...but I can't wait to make a trellis type scarf with it..She is my biggest cheerleader...she is always saying how good my knitting looks and such. :) Being words of affirmation and all....it is SO super nice to hear. Thanks Carole!!! She said I could sell my stuff on QVC...yeah....one piece at a time!!!

It was nearly painful to NOT knit tonight, but I did knit on the way to the party IN THE DARK. I guess I have arrived.

I look forward to some good knitting time tomorrow, to hopefully get Deb's sweater done. Lionbrand Homespun Sunshine. I'm going to put a "fringe" on the bottom with Pattons...something or other...twister I think it is. :) NOt really a fringe, but crochet some kind of scallop. She isn't going to be at church on Sunday, so I think I'll finish(try) the front tomorrow, and piece it together on Sunday.

I got the sock yarn yesterday...it smells funny...is that part of yarn?

OHHH, I saw someone with the Martha Poncho on at walmart yesterday, I wanted to say something...but she didn't say anything about MY poncho...silly silly me. Funny how I can pick that out.

The heat went off at 9, so I am FREEZING and ready to head to bed to get snuggly warm.
g'night everyone. :)

Something new!!!

I learned how to copy something..lol...through the help of friends at knittinghelp.com I was able to put the button there!!! AOL didn't allow that option as far as I could tell...sooo....button button, who's got the button...lol...

also got a frapper account...is that the name of it?? need to go check again..lol...so if you see my blog, be sure to plug yourself in!! :)

Rotten day at work today. Nothing worked right...but I guess I am thankful FOR jobs!!!

Computer issues both times....sigh....hard to do work when the technology isn't available or STOPS working!!!

Good Morning

Exciting times!!! :) This is where I get to share my world and my life...:) lol....

I'm just tickled that I got to get this blog name. :) It came to me in the middle of the night..and wouldn't it make a COOL yarn store name?

My biggest "what have I done" thing happned last night at scouts. I offered to quilt a quilt for our leader. I don't think it will be TOO horrid, but I'll need help with the basting, because I am NOT doing that by myself!!! The rest I can handle I am sure....but a BIG project.

The concept is that the 32 girls have done a self portrait on unbleached muslin, and my friend's mother will piece them and I will baste and quilt and bind. I have always done a separate binding, but this mother makes the backing bigger, and then uses THAT for the binding. I think it'll be OK because it probably won't get used AS a quilt, but I had been taught to use separate binding because that gets wear and tear, and if the big back binding wears through, you're stuck.

Today is a crazy day. But ALL my days are crazy!!! I have to go to work...bleah..I wish I could figure out a way to just quit. With me working for Kevin now, it's kind of getting in the way. But Ken needs me, and I just don't see the work getting done otherwise. NOt really MY problem, but that's just the way I am I guess.

Right now, I have LOTS of knitting going on...almost TOO much, but I really like it that way. When I get bored with one thing, I can go on to another thing.

So...OTN : Deb's sweater, Shirley's bag, and Ann's bag.

My goal is to get Deb's sweater done this weekend to hand to her on Sunday. Then I can focus on Shirley's bag, then Ann's bag. I have socks to make for Kevin. He wants a cotton blend with wool....but Hank and i both think that's not really the way to go. But I am going to make him a wool only pair first, and see if he likes it...if he does, then I'll do something with this other yarn I got.

I need to focus some time to get my other blog up and running...who KNOWS how many people out there are looking at a funky blank blog. I am having some trouble trying to get all the buttons working properly, but hopefully I'll get to it this weekend.

Like I said before...I am SOOO tickled that this blog name wasn't taken!!! Toodles everyone :)
