Well, my new bags have dried and are ready for the finishing touches. The first is a Sophie Bag made with Cascade Quatro and Cascade Heather (one strand of each). Not sure the picture really does it justice.. it is a beautiful purple color. And I love the size. Now just to add a snap, and it will be complete!
This is a blue Sophie, done with 2 strands of Paton's Wool Merino and a strand of Elegance novelty yarn. Hard to see the sparkles from the Elegance, but it is beautiful.
Next I tackled the Vintage Bubble bag from the book Pursenalities. As soon as I saw this pattern I knew I had to make one (or two, or three.....) The first one I made double stranded with one strand of Noro Kureyon and one strand of Paton's Wool Merino.
To add some fun and to try something different; I took on the Spring Fling Bag from the Pursenalities book, which is a larger version of the Vintage Bubble bag with a fun eyelash type yarn added in. Here is what I created! I made it with 2 strands of Galway Wool and one strand of Crystal Palace Fizz. Of course, it still needs the perfect buttons....
And, finally, an introduction. I decided to move from the animals in my life to those who mean most of all... my family. I will start with the oldest, my son Ryan. This is a picture of he and I in Lancaster, England when we went to visit him in April. (He was studying abroad for the year.) He has since returned and is living here in Cedar Falls attending UNI. It's wonderful having him close! (and he now has hair...at his mother's request :-)!!) Until next time.........
