just like sheep...

I have unwittingly followed the herd - I had to have some Vincent's Apron Jitterbug. I received my sweetly wrapped package from purl Friday and it seems ADD Knitter got the same one! These socks at Knitting Philistine started the hunt for me, then seeing another project at The Plucky Knitter. Did you follow that? It's kind of like the shell game, huh? It's the latest thing maybe - the depth of color is just awesome and yellow - I mean, since when is yellow the new black? Yum, like buttah.



I finished my Dante's purse for a swap pal. This one is made of leftover Noro Iro from a sweater I recently finished, I felted it a bit for a sturdier base - and picked the fabric from my stash. I hope my Punk Rock Gift Exchange pal digs it as much as I do. It's the first one I have made - I feel as though I should mourn the loss of my sewing skills - they just aren't as technical as they once were - when I was a quilter, but then, I wasn't a knitter...perhaps I have found my truer calling? In any case, I think the bag is a charmer - what a great free pattern - thank you! It was fun and simple and as the pattern indicates - Kirstin from Through the Loops!, the designer, provides a recipe - I decide the ingredients. For another, I can see a bright striped Cascade 220 bucket bottom - fulled, with some fun polka dot fabric tucked inside. This project might be a proper candidate for the Pay It Forward I promised.
