The solid pink for the inside with one of the others for the outside. It would also have pink bias trim on it.

Here are a couple book thongs I did. The redish looking one I did this evening. Pretty easy to make and who couldn't use a marker for their book?

They still need to be perfected, but I like em.

Well here is my *mini* Booga Bag. It turned out pretty good I think. Shorter then I thought, but I like it that way.

The kids must like it cause they have asked me to make them one.

I think I'm going to like this felting thing.

Here is the nice owie I got while trying to pick up the book to finish the hat that doesn't fit Dh's head. Wouldn't you know I dropped it right on the binding side.

Man that hurt. LOL

Here is the hat I just finished this morning. It was going to be for Dh, but unless his head shrinks like 50% that ain't gonna happen.

I think I will mail it off to my nephew. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Now, I'm off to make a larger one.

This is the poncho I did for Catherine today. It took me an afternoon and 3 movies. I am loving the big needles.

I did this pattern

with size 19 needles. I didn't make it as large as the pattern called for, but just made some rectangles and put them together.

Tomorrow I am going to have to work on Sarah's. No way I can make just one for just one kid.

Here is my "wing it" bag I'm working on now. It's suppose to turn out like My Companion, but I am totally winging this one. So far, so good. It will be felted when I am done. I haven't done a felted piece yet, so cross your fingers.

Well here is my finished shawl. It took me about 3 weeks to finish and it is nice and toasty warm.

In hindsight I think I would have dropped the gold, but I still like it. The colors don't blend as well as I had hoped either. Meh, oldest must like it cause she wants me to make her one.

Now if Timmy there in the background has anything to say I am thinking he doesn't approve.

Oh yeah, and I need to dust.

This is my current work in progress. I'm liking the colors, but the blend at the bottom is kind of too sharp. I'm getting better at it though. I can't wait to finish it up and wrap it around me while I knit other wonderful projects.

Oh yeah, guess what everyone is getting this year for Christmas.

Now really, how can you NOT have one of these? You have all those needles and I kept getting them lost and mixed up. Now I don't have to worry about it.

I made this today in about one hour (or less). I think I will make a smaller one that I can sew onto the front of this one for my crochet hooks and circular needles.

Meh, maybe tomorrow.

Got this from Stitch and Bitch (where else) and it was very easy to whip up. Isn't that the cutest model you've ever seen.

Day one of blogging

Okay, so now I have to download pictures damn it! You know this takes away from my knitting don't you. Off to take more photos.
