The felted bag is done!  It is hanging to dry now, then I will shave it and gift it on Saturday.  This was a fun little knit and I loved the yarn!

I have the knitting all done of my kool aid felted purse.  I meant to link to the pattern tonight, but left the link in the other room….perhaps another time.  This bag was actually fun to knit, unlike my last project.  I think knitting with yarn you’ve prepared yourself helps with the motivation factor.  I am always excited and anxious to see how the colors will pool.  All that is left to do is graft the handle to the other side and then felt.  I am so addicted to felting!

 On another note, I’ve decided to start making an effort to attend drop in knitting at a local shop each Thursday night.  This will give my knitting undivided attention without the interference of toddler hands and kitty paws!  My goal is to start and finish my Rusted Root top in the month of July with the help and motivation of the KAL at Get Stitchy! and the drop in knitting time.

Well, due to the fact that my San Francisco trip was a whirlwind affair, I took advantage of flight time by sleeping….no knitting!  But I did kick it into high gear when I got back….busted out two projects in one day.  The dreaded dream swatch is done.  What a boring knit!

I used South West Trading Company 100% Bamboo yarn

I am also almost done with the pink baby sweater…it just needs to have it’s ends weaved in and some sort of buttons/snaps put on. No rush on that…the persons I made it for both found out they are having BOYS! So I should add boy items to my to-do list.

Onto the Rusted Root top!

Now that I’ve got my sidebar issue fixed, I am ready to rock n roll!   Just in time for my weekend away to San Francisco!  I hope to come back with at least one FO!

Uhh….I feel like a big doof right now!  I am just trying to figure out how to get this all set up to work to my advantage.  I really just want to set up some silly little progress bars on the side there.

 edit:  Okay, so I got some progress established, but now the text is wrapping and I don’t want it to do that.  Oye!
