So, I did it. I got myself a blog, because I think someone out there might care about my crazy life..... Anyway, I'm going to dive right in. I'm working on a fun project right now. Its one of the Hermione hats, Cable and Eyelet Hat by Jackie Lauseng. I'm using Elsebeth Lavold Baby LLama and so far I am loving this yarn. I do find it thin for a worsted, probably because its 2 ply, but the softness is worth it all the way.
I did some crafting this week, but it was all for the swap. I was nearly out of interfacing so I ran over to The Quilt Shop in Watertown. I'd been there once a couple of years ago and thought their prices were very good considering they are independent and Joanne and Hobby Lobby were both in Watertown at the time. They have really expanded and have a tremendous selection. They have more novelty type fabrics now, which is what I prefer for my bags, so I will be going there much more often.... probably too much. I got interfacing and I found two prints that were perfect for my swapee. I really wasn't expecting to find what I did. I sewed a bag with those two prints and two of the fabrics I picked up from Walmart. The Walmart fabric was acceptable. Not groundbreaking, but decent enough that if I find cute prints I'll probably grab them. I finished the handknit earlier today. I want to steam block it yet, ...
