I decided to start knitting my bag again. This bag is such a big commitment..time wise and I also have to be focused to do the colour work. For the strap alone you cast on 450sts on sz#1 needles and then you must make sure your join (it's knit in the round) is not twisted. What a pain and you haven't as yet knit a stitch!
So..what was I thinking when I bought this kit? I loved the look of the bag....but my love is fading.
I will keep you up to date on my progress.
I also have been knitting mini socks. There are for WWKIPD (World Wide Knit in Public day) 'tho it isn't 'till June 13th.. I tried a few patterns and I love doing them! (Do you recognise any?)The minis are so small, so easy!
I am at present knitting a pair of socks and I am still plodding along on my afghan. So not much to show but a lot going on.
Maybe one of these days!
Happy knitting everyone.
Mags.

Hey Mags,
The bag looks too tedious for me, but ewe know I love the mini socks, too cute! I like knitting them also, but of course I love all socks mini, small, baby, big, you get the idea.
I've started this KawKaw sock I've been trying to get in my head. It's a beautiful pattern, I'm just not use to graphs, but I'm getting there. I got the bear finished up to it's neck, but until I can get this sock underway I don't want to put it away, I know I can pick up on the bear later, and anyways he needed a break from me. :)I found another book with a smaller bear in the round and a rabbit and elephant w/ in it. I like the rabbit & bear.And will knit them later.I get overwhelmed at times and this is one of them. wheww!!
hugs,
Tammy
P.S.
I know you will do a beautiful job on the bag, you do beautiful work!
I'm just a "plain jane" knitter.Ha!
Mags,
Did you find the mini sox patterns on Ravelry? If so where, you know I want them. :) :)
O wow that's going to be gorgeous!
Hi Mags,
Thanks for dropping by, I always enjoying reading your comments. I'll be sharing some more of The Yarn Harlot's Wit soon. I've got another I want to put up to night. And she also has a great idea I would like to share w/ you for us sock knitters. I'll write back tonight, I'm getting ready to go to work, yikes! I'm running out of time. I feel like the rabbit w/ the pockewatch in Alice in Wonderland. :)
