Felting fun is happening in this house!!!! :) Both my Rainbow Suki and the Daypack backpack are drying, smells awful but I am SO pleased with the size they shrunked too. :) I almost forgot about both projects, ACK! I was just knitting away and UH OH, ran to the basement all scared. Luckily I got there JUST in time, the Daypack was perfect and the Suki was just about done. It went back in for another waher ride and then it was done. Finding was to fill the bags got creative, I used a small diaper pail for the Suki and a show box for the Daypack! LOL! I can't wait to show off the pics... tomorrow! Yup, gotta build some anticipation!
I've been thinking about this for a while and in septembler I believe I will treat myself and start a big shawl for myself. Kind of a Christmas gift for myself, we all know how slow I knit, that way I won't be putting pressure on myself. I think I'll treat myself with nice yarn too. :) I never knitted a shawl I really liked the Highland triangle shawl I have talked about in the past. It looked like a good nice and large piece, hey it gets cold here in the winter! ;) I think a shawl would be exciting to knit, it would last for years (hopefully!) and that's why I think investing in some good yarn for it would be wise. :) There will most likely be a chart to knit the shawl and I have never worked with a chart, that might get... hummm... interesting. ;) I might look at free shawl patterns and ones that are sold in kits or something. I'm still not convinced that I want to buy the Folk Shawls book as it is quite pricey.
That's my little entry for today, have a great day! :)
