Well, I was all ready to finish my knitting bag last night, but realized that I really should have read the pattern more closely. My fabric is too thick. I won’t be able to sew the straps on the darn bag, because it won’t fit under the foot on my machine. Sometimes I’m not the sharpest person alive. So, I was at Target today, and they had adorable bags just the right size, for only $17. It has a zippered pocket inside, and is the perfect size for the kinds of projects I usually do.
I know it won’t last forever, but it is a cute bag and it makes me happy. That’s all that really matters, right? I will make a new bag when this one bites the dust. I don’t have fabric to make another bag right now anyway.
I’m half way done with Branching Out. I am really loving this scarf, and I think it has turned me on to a passion for lace knitting. I just wish I hadn’t been so anxious about it, because it really is easier than it looks.
I ordered more stuff from KnitPicks yesterday. I’m going to make myself a shawl and some socks for a friend.
