Bogga bag finished!

It's finished! I used grommets! I wasn't without challenge. I found that punching a hole was problematic, the fabric would spread out beyond the grommet. So my solution was to just snip a tiny hole and worked the grommet through carefully. I used the rings with little teeth to make it more sucure...the true test will be when we put stuff in it...Happy Birthday Bert!

It's felted!

It is about half the size! The incredible shrinking bag! My experience with felting has usually shank in height but not width, not this time...I used Patons SWS violet colorway. I like the way it knit and the color changes were even and gradient. I used 3 skeins and just knit till the yarn ran out. The pattern called for knitting 64 rounds, but kept knitting. I have the result I was hoping for by knitting it longer...I will post when dry...and complete with handles...I tend to get the stitch gauge, but not the row gauge, so I knit extra length to compensate.

Booga Bag for Bert...

...from Black sheep, I just need to felt it!!!! It's super easy and you can whip up a few in no time! Thank you Black sheep!

Socks!

I am using the Plain Old Ragg Socks pattern from the book, Never knit your man a sweater unless you've got the ring, I do have to ring but...plus ten years of marriage...I guess I'm a little behind, huh? SHHHH, don't tell him!

Socks for my Sweet...
I have turned the heel! Now it's time for the gusset, I am not sure I can hold my breath that long! I caught myself holding my breath the other day when I was working on the cable row of a scarf, it's not conscious, it's the fear of dropping a stitch!
