A Monkey sock in progress....
v. 3/take 3 of FLS, everything seems to be going great now! I'd so love to be done with the bodice over the weekend!
An old WIP...circa March 2006
Weekend Getaway Satchel (scroll down)
What have we got here....a strap...
a very long one indeed! I knit most of this on or waiting for the planes last week. It's now 5 feet 8". I'm knitting until the end of the 2 skeins and I'm supposed to have 16' total. As of right now I discovered a fatal error....I should have ordered 5 skeins of this red colored yarn (Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in Tomato), I only ordered 2. It is so not enough!! :( I have to admit, when I ordered this yarn (in late 2005) I was a new knitter and since this was a total yarn sub and my first yarn sub oh well. (dammit, a little voice told me I may not have enough...but I truly thought I did, guess I didn't see the part for needing 5 skeins...) It is a discontinued colorway and I'm just going to find enough in Cascade 220 to start over. I'd love to try the Lite Lopi, but that is single ply and this is a 3 ply. Funny how Shannon also posted about hers today. Our goal this year is to finish them and maybe they can meet! On the Ravelry page, we are side by side..neat I think...
Off to order some red yarn...dammit!

When I was new knitter I have never done a gauge - I would try to figure out in my head how many sts to CO! I was so stupid back there! Ofcourse, I rarely figured it out right!
Wow, you are one busy woman!
Did you look for a stash of it on Ravelry? You never know. You might find some.
I was just going to suggest the same thing as TurtleGirl!
I've got some red Lion Wool hanging around that I don't need. Want me to send you a snip in an envelope? To see if it matches.
Great minds think alike!
I can't wait unitl we get these bags finished!
Yay for the FLS!! I have to get started on mine again!
Can't wait to see that bag finished! Won't it feel good to use all that stash!
Very pretty WIPs! Have a lovely weekend!
woohoo! you got a lot going on!
i'm sorry to hear about the red yarn though. :(
Lemme know what color 220 you're looking for and I'll check the shop.
Can't wait to see the FLS! I'm so jealous, I want to cast on one too!
