A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
So here is the back of Bay! She’s moving along quite nicely, now that I’m spending more time on her. I can’t wait to finish this sweater so I can wear it. The kidsilk haze is soo soft. I’m loving it. There really isn’t very much exciting to say about it. Regular waist shaping, nothing spectacularily new there. But the neck shaping was a bit different. I almost thought the pattern was wrong but I decided to just trust it and go with it, and turned out okay. You can’t really tell in the picture, but the top of the shoulders has a bit of shaping to it.
I’ve been dying to knit the adorable felted bag in the Winter 2005/06 Rowan magazine called “Boo.” But buying the yarn for it would have been way too expensive for me, for something like this anyway. So I bought some Patons merino wool yesterday and decided to cast on and knit on it during the Superbowl. BTW, knitting and football really go hand in hand, IMHO. It was the perfect thing to while nervously watching my team lose. Gave me something to do with my hands. Anyway, this is my first felted project and I’m so excited. I am going to buy some really nice bamboo handles for it. And I want to put some lining inside of it, too.
Oh, and I finished another Helmet hat for my hubby. Picture is here, if you want to take a look.
Have a great week!
