Why am I blogging my knitting? Couldn’t I just as well be doing it for myself and not on the net? Is there even anyone out there reading this?? Probably not… Why would anyone want to read my blog when I’ve only been knitting since November?? Perhaps I should just slink back to where I came from… I don’t have a lot of time for knitting right now and that won’t change significantly until mid-April really… So what in the heck am I going to write about?? Well, I need to write about the knit along once I actually get going on that I guess…
Okay, so it’s a little fib. I still need to stitch the lining into it, but the Southwest Purse is completed otherwise. The lining is even assembled so it’s just a matter of adding the lining…
Since I felt the colors were kind of Southwest inspired, I chose a Kokkipelli charm in pewter. I had originally used handles that were simlarily shaped, but went all the way across. It kept me from really be able to get into the purse. So I switched to these handles instead. Thank goodness Jo-Ann’s has had the purse handles on sale! :-)
The fiber is a blend of three yarns that I got from my LYS. It’s labeled as Cotton, Silk, Merino and Alpaca, mostly cotton. I’m working on a drop stitch scarf of the same yarn to go with the purse.
No real knitting for me now until Sunday and Sunday is even slightly iffy. I have lessons to write yet before bed tonight and then tomorrow is taken up completely with preparations and actual task of setting up the Silent Auction and performing in The Cabaret… Sunday I’m sure to be pretty wiped and I have a Drop-In Journaling class from 4-6pm, but I’m hoping to cast on the Shapely Tank on Sunday evening….
