A little Toting and Receiving and Knitting

Wow, Hi, can't believe it is February, and finally posting. I've been hard at work sewing totes and needle rolls. I am also trying to finish my socks before the Knitting Olympics starts on Friday.

I swapped some of the coveted cotton ease yarn for these stitchmarkers and some chocolate :) from Turtlegirl76 Finally have some perfect for sock markers. Even though I have the goods to make them, they are soo much prettier made by someone else.



Here's a cute water bottle I received from my Knitwhit buddies in return for a few needle rolls made by moi. Very cute and will be well used for sure!



Oh yeah, now the totes. I have made 6 this week! (thus not a heck of a lot of knitting, but that's ok..its time is coming) Whew!! 3 are for me :)) and 3 are for a good buddy of mine, who'll remain kind of nameless right now as at least 1 of them is for her swap buddy, so I'll post those pics later. Without further adieu!
I call this my funky bag; I am also making 2 needle rolls with this fabric and a coordinating stripe...those not done yet




To the left is my new knitting bag, to the right my new purse. I just love this fabric. I change knitting bags and purses daily, weekly, whenever the mood suits me...(so don't fear SP..I love bags as much as fiber!) And all colors...oh btw that is gold in them there rings not yellow! (SP knows what I mean)

Finally, a little knitting going on! I wanted to prove I didn't get the dreaded second sock syndrome..you can see the proof below..I also frogged the toe and reworked it. It is a lot better and finished as far as I am concerned. My goal this week is to finish this by Friday and fulfill my Sock-a-Month KAL for February.


Later!

Awesome bags, Z. What an awesome sewer you are! And the fabric is great. I'd love to see a picture of your needle rolls. Great work on the 2nd sock too...SSS is dangerous.

You've been busy!

Your bags are very cool - I love the fabric on the taupey-turquoisey one!

And I totally agree about the stitch markers. There is just something about ones made by someone else.

Those bags are great! I love the fabric choices. Make me want to get out my sewing machine and try one.

I love those bags! Absolutely gorgeous. I've been toying with the idea of sewing some up for others only b/c I have 40+ yds of canvas sitting in my craft room. What to do, what to do...
