They match! (mostly)

I love, love, love them. One looks longer than the other, even though it isn’t, because there’s more green on one side than the other. BUT, they’re close. They’re cute. They’re cozy. They’re done.

I’m whipping out a crazy hat with the leftover yarn. It’s a big, blocky, open lace, zigzag kind of hat, worked on big needles. It’s really cool so far. I’ve been trying to keep track of how I’m making it, but I keep having to make little unexplained adjustments at the start of many of the rounds, so I don’t know how accurately I can pattern it.

I’m felting Pete’s bag right now. It’s been in there for a very long time. The bag is shrinking, the strap isn’t, I’m going to keep washing the sucker ’til it behaves. If the strap insists on remaining humungous, I have a plan, so I’m not worried.

My back is feeling pretty good today, although I’m coming down with some kind of illness. Sore throat, stuffy head, no energy. Guess that means I get to spend more time justifying knitting too much, I mean resting.

Hey, I did laundry yesterday. That’s something.
