Ooh, something fun!

Thank you everyone for the sweet thoughts and comments yesterday. I really wasn’t expecting much of a response to that post, and it was touching.

My appointment went very well. Wanna see something crazy?

There was a basket of full of these for the taking. Can you stand it? They’re hilarious.

Now, back to knitting content. I’m still plugging along on Pete’s bag. I’m working on the strap. I can tell it’s going to take a long time, primarily because it is going to be a couple hundred rows of 19 stitch stockinette, and there’s just nothing interesting about that. BUT, I’ve been thinking, hehe. Thinking about how delicious this Donegal is when felted. Thinking about cool things I might be able to make with it. For me.

These, from S&B Nation spring to mind…

I picked up some of that pink Donegal yesterday that I was thinking about knitting Olivia’s coat with. I’m thinking a charcoal bag, with pink trim and letter. The fun part is going to be the letter, because instead of this boring old thing…

(Yawnaronious). I’m going do do this

Ahhh, jeah! Do you love it? I’ve been using my excellent bag from the last S&B for almost a year. It still looks fab. I continue to admire the many fine qualities of Lamb’s Pride. But my POINT is that I think I’m ready for a new purse. By Gayle’s standard, I’m grossly overdue, since the woman has a different purse in tow every time I see her. Literally. I have yet to see the same one twice.

So that’s what I’m thinking about today. If nothing else, it’ll motivate me to get Pete’s bag done faster, because I can’t in good conscience start my felted Donegal Tweed bag before finishing his. (Although it appears I can spend an afternoon graphing out a letter for it).
