Easter Break and more felting!

We have been having fun around these parts. Heather and I save a bunch of money by having our very own "sit and knit!" Yarnia started charging for theirs, so we have our own! That way we can eat treats, sip the beverages of choice, and knit our little hearts out! ; )

The kids are getting big! Mason is walking! He holds his right arm up funny, and he is increasing his core strength every day!

Hannah is saying cute things, too, every day!!! This morning, she said, "It's okay, Buddy. Be patient, I am coming!" He was still in his bed and waiting for Miss Hannah to come play! And running errands today - - -she said, "Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Heather and I looked at each other as we passed WL. Then Hannah said, "I am thinking... there's the Winking Lizard!" Now how funny was that! All day she has been wearing her "high heels." She let me wear a pair, too. (I think!)

So, with the boys working, kids growing, and Heather and I knitting - - might as well show what is new...


These fun bags are in the wrong order - -but that is OK. I made this one on Saturday... felted Lopi Tote. It came out quite nicely. Supposed to be a stash buster, but I thought that I was running out of yarn. So, Heather suggested the color change - - thanks, Heather - - I think it looks smashing! Way cute!

This one was finished up on Friday night - -I think I started this one on Monday. The problem with this bag was in the pattern. The instructions said to make the handle, then the other one, leaving all the stitches live. Then cable cast on and space the handles. I did as specified.

But, when the bag was done, and the bottom was being added, the handles did not do the french market thing! They did the tote thing! WRONG WAY! So, since it is just yarn, I did "surgery" and separated the red from the blue/red mix, and turned the handles and reattached them! And voila! Whoo hoooo! This bag will be the permanent chemo cap knitting bag since all the needles, yarn, and other tools fit perfectly!

This one was finished quite a while ago - - made for a special little one, Abby! It was for her first birthday - - and since the purples are the way to go... here it is! Once again, I did not make the flowers!

The first thing Hannah said when she opened it was, "I like your purse!" She will get hers on Sunday Morning, just in time for church!

Hope she says that again!
