Of course I’m making things to send to all the people who sent me gifts for my birthday. Today I received a belated gift – which fun – who doesn’t want a birthday present long after the birthday.Bag, yarn and a book.Great little bag, great colors. Perfect for throwing in my wallet and phone and going off for a walk.Wonky picture I know, I was trying to capture the lining and inner pocket, once I looked at the photo I realized that Danielle top stitched the whole bag with magenta thread! Very cool.
I ‘happen’ to have some silver linen that would go very nicely with this purple.
Speaking of linen:I knit a lot on the flights as well as in Hawaii. The sweater has grown. Still looking good on the mannequin. Now I need to figure out how long I want it to be.There is a simple lace pattern, it will be visible when I wash and block the heck out of this thing.Finally, a peek into the book, yes, I need to make some of these. There are instructions for how to design your own, I think I’m going with the hard work that Abby already did and I’ll follow her patterns.
And now I have some projects to make for other people in the exchange.
