Just a quick note With Pictures :-)

I have got a good Amount of knitting done over the past few days, as I have been riding around a lot with my DH. We had a wedding to attend and it was a 45min drive both ways to the church, and the reception site was a 15 min drive form the church, so in the drive time over and back I was about to complete the knitting on my first Felted Cell Phone bag. I felted it in my sink as soon as I got home. Over the rest of the weekend I made 2 more, and felted them also. I think this is the first pattern that I really felt like was a cute small project that was actually useful. I now have 3 more people who want me to make one for them. So I have found a great use for the Hand spun, hand painted wool that I swapped for last month. I can get 2 bags out of 100 yards, I am thinking about adding a fun fur trim to some of them to add a little interest. Well about the wedding I attended, they are all very big UGA (GA Bulldog) fans, so the Grooms cake was a GA Bulldog with a Yellow Jacket (GA Tech) and a gator (FL Gators) under each paw it was a great conversation piece until they started cutting it. I also got a chance to go the my local library to look at the new knitting books, and they just got in a Debbie Bliss Book (the Baby Knits book). I think I am going to have to make the adorable baby shoes they are so cute and will be great quick baby gifts and I can use up all the little balls of leftover yarns, I know that you all have a good amount of these laying around. I store mine in one gallon plastic zipper bags sorted by color family, I use color wheel to determine the way they are sorted, this way if I ever want to do a scrap shawl I can just grab a couple of colors that look good together and just get started. I plan on adding a link on the sidebar to a new blog that will have all of the items that I have for sale. I am planning on updating this blog once per week with items that I might have for sale, I am going to try to clear out some items that I have in my craft room, that has just been sitting there and not getting used, Not all of the items will be knitting related as I am the type of person who likes to try anything once and then it ends up in a box if I do not like it. I will be having some Handbag kits with patterns included that I have put together for a craft show that I participated in a for a few years, please take a look at it , it should be operational by the end of the day, today.
