Strippy Striped Bag

Wow, our morning glories are really putting on a show for us right now. I should've gotten the whole mass of them, but here's a couple in the autumn light.

I finally (whew!) finished my newest bag. It's a strippy bag with striped pockets. I doodled and dawdled around on the thing until I just wanted to call it done. It's a softer look and I love, love, love the lining with the dragonflies buzzing around inside (so softly).

Knitting continues on the shawl and another pair of socks (for Jimmy). I'm really looking around for some sweater yarn to cast on for a sweater.

Fall is fabulous!

Fall is in the air

Fall is my favorite time of year, and I always have more energy after the heat of summer. I've gotten a few things finished up, tried a new knitting technique, and oh yeah, taken pictures of the dog:

Finally wove in the ends to the Tweedy Vest. It's been sitting done since May-ish, right about the time it got too hot to wear. I'm pretty happy with my first sweater attempt. The collar is a little floppy, but I know it's because I picked up too many stitches after I shortened the body by a couple of repeats.

Tried my hand at entrelac. It's not perfect, but now I understand what it involves. I'll probably make this into a small pouch and line it with fabric.
