Knitting Bags.


Well ..... I'm happy and sad at the same time. In getting a lot of stuff back from the fiber cleaner I got my Jessalu bags back. I love them - but I think they did not care for them the way I would have. They were washed/dryer/pressed and seem like they wont hold their shape. You can bet your bonny bottom that I'll be getting insurance to pay for them. I love the monkey fabric and these particular bags ... but I'm not going to put up with what has been done to them!


On another sad note I found the Habu Scarf that I'd been working on. It is slightly felted and the tread and needles are missing. This is all that is left of the project. I guess I can take it out of hibernation and move it to destroyed .... am I happy or sad? I hated this scarf!

    I think considering how unmotivated you were about the Habu scarf, you can guilt-free say goodbye to it! Jess's bags are another story. :(

    Sorry to hear about the bags - I know you really liked them.

    But I've never heard you say a nice thing about that scarf - it's time to let it go.

    Bollocks to them for felting it, though - they should have known it would felt and taken more care of it.

    Your poor bags!

    Sounds like that scarf got what it deserved.

Bowls With Boarders!

Image
There is this great blog hop that I joined. It is called bowls with boarders. Regina came up with this great paper piece pattern - which I used to stack them this high.  Please check out all the other bowls for today! Birgit H. Vicki B. Monika G. Scher (no post) Dorothea Rosa Patch.The Love Of Sewing Nuclear Knits Cottage-Quilt Cattinka Hill Valley Quilter Ninis Patchwork   I wanted a table runner but didn't want to keep stacking bowls - so I decided to take my favorite fabric and use it on the other half. After that I decided my love of hexagons had to come out as well.  This was an incredibly fun project!  You should check out the rest of the bowls on the site.  So impressive!

F.O. Stupidly Simple Shawl

Image
I love putting FO in the subject line. Makes me feel like I've done something good! Project Details: Started on March 6th and finished on June 5th. Longer than one would think - but this was the car or doctor's office project. Not something I worked on all the time. I used 6 skeins of Bristol Yarn Gallery Buckingham Fingering alpaca yarn held together. Well I held two strands together (not all 6 at one time). This gave me the weight I wanted and it still drapes well I think. The pattern is really only 2 sentences long. I used size 7 needles and didn't change anything from the pattern. It was really a fun project!

When Crafting Goes Bad Part II

Image
Well I did it again. No I didn't cut my finger with the rotary blade - but I might as well have. In an attempt to get my big spinning wheel working I was testing out some fiber - when all of a sudden the whole flyer and bobbin came off and slammed into my big toes. I'm pretty sure it is broken or really badly bruised. I've been icing it and it hurts to walk. Again the hubby wonders why hobbies are so violent! Ps - I know I have ugly toes...get over it, they are feet!
