Finie l'écharpe!

Pattern found here!

took you long enough.

on monday i finally lit a fire under my butt and lined my bag so that it is functional. because i got ahead of myself and attached the handles before lining it, i decided not to line them. (they were supposed to be lined before attached.) subsequently, they stretch a fair amount when i put it on with things in it, however it allows for it to then be slung across my chest, which i quite prefer in a purse/bag/satchel. alas, all turned out well! i'll also admit that my hand sewing is shoddy but there again... i don't so much care.

where my babies at?

well it only took me months to finish but HERE SHE IS! all pretty in violet and lime this here baby blanket is far from perfect but she is mine all the same. i learned a lot doing this project - how to add a stitch, pick up stitches, add trim, seam, join yarn, check the dye lot, etc...

but tada! done and done.

ZOMFG! it's a hooded baby blanket!

she's cute no? tara and trooper's beebee is gonna look so cute inside! she needs her ends hidden, but i'll get to those tomorrow! woot!

ZOMFG! its a hat!

wheeeeeeeee!!!!!

it was panic!  i was in a sweat!  there was a near disaster!  but... i'm a friggin' rockstar and i covered up a few slipped stitches at the end and it's 97% perfection!  

everyone!  everywhere!  PWNED!  oh, and here's the pattern. 

tada!

Done and done! Nothing feels quite so great as finishing a project... and not just the knitting bit but the sewing and attaching and this, that and the other. I must profess myself quite proud of my handy work. I don't want to toot my own horn but I really think it looks like i may have bought it somewhere.

Yay!

Jenny's Yoga Mat Bag

Knitting of the Yoga Mat Bag is complete, and you're looking at the proof! So now all I have to do is weave in my ends, then sew the sides and bottom panel together, and then sew on the strap!

Oh and then I need to get a nice li'l yoga mat to carry around in it!
