Yesterday I did laundry, toured a fire station with the girls, and worked on Pete’s bag. Slowly but surely, I’m going to finish this bag. Here’s a nasty indoor picture without flash, because flash was worse.

I sewed the i-cord on the the flap, and gave it a little twist! All that’s left are the knots on the bottom and the flag. Possibly a pocket. Oh, and it looks much better in person. The twists look even, the picture is lying.

And then, wow. I came home to the loveliest gift package from Carrie last night!

Isn’t it sweet? She gave the girls stickers and princess toothbrushes (only the packaging made it to the picture, far left), she gave Abner a treat, and gave me an opportunity to dive into dyeing yarn! That would be some really soft merino from Knit Picks, (thanks, I’ve been wondering how their yarn is), four shades of KoolAid, and instructions printed up from Knitty. I’m excited because just today I saw something that interested me. That looks like too much fun, and now I can try it! Thanks, Carrie!
