Sitting along side the bag I had created last night, is yet another one.
This one is for my friend’s birthday…a bit past, but it replaces the other item I was going to make for her.
I hope she can use this in her travels, either from home to work, or to a stamp-in day!

One of my favorite magazines is Australian Country Threads. The picture to the left is from issue Vol. 5 No. 7.
I decided to make one today for my Fresh-n-Fit lunch boxes that are like a bento box, stacking within its own container and an area to keep the ice pack that comes with it.

Two years ago, at the annual Ft. Worden Knitting Retreat, this lovely yarn was our gift for the year.
I have saved it, not sure what I would do with it.
Then, Erin, J’s girlfriend came along. The more she comes over, the chattier I can get her to be. She loves the color green. Ah-ha! [...]

Knitty Summer 07′ is out
Posted in Socks, knitty on June 11, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I want to make these and these.
As for the new Knitty…adorable sweater tops, but not any I can wear, esp. to work. Besides, I need to be held up and a bra just wouldn’t work with such garments.
Still, a cute issue.

I have an itch to start my second Wicked sweater from Zephyr. I purchased enough Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece to make the long sleeved version in a rich chocolate brown.
But alas, I have a few socks on [...]

Back to the Future! Sew Green mentioned this in her most recent post and I wanted to share it.
