purleweWell, I know it looked ridiculous when I had so many WIPs on my needles. So, now I have some progress to report!!!
I'm thrilled to say I finished the beaded bag. I was supposed to finish the beading, cast off and then sew the bottom closed like a square. But being me I just connected it, knit it in the round and closed it that way. Perhaps not the wisest choice. It looks like I added something. (let's just say it isn't "streamlined") but next time I will knit the whole thing in the round, or just make it square. It is beautiful. I love it to bits. I think I am going to give it to my best friend. Everyone needs a bit of glamour in their life, and this is definitely it. DONE! 100%
Next Jean's baby sweater. I am done with the back and the left front. That leaves me the right front and the sleeves. Now I will admit, I am really happy with this project. It really looks nice. It is from Minnow Knits, and it is called Koko Kimono. I think the green is a nice touch for the color. I think I'll be done with this by the middle of the month. 50% done.
I'm still working on my sister Darci's purse. I am afraid it won't felt right. I am seriously only inches away from finishing. Then, of course, there is the i-cord to do. 75% done.
Judy's purse. I picked it up for the first time in about 2 weeks last nite. Easy knitting. I got a couple rows of color done last nite. 30% done.
Teva said the yarn would be sent by mail directly to me. I have not seen it yet. I think I'll worry if I don't get it by say.. next wednesday.
My present to Rowena shipped out yesterday. I was a bit disappointed in the shipping time. I ordered it from LUSH and they said when I ordered it that it was in stock.. but then waited a week for them to take it to UPS. huh? o well. At least it is in the mail so to speak.
Other good news: Annemieke, my Dutch friend, got her package of merino yarn I bought for her. She loves it and told me she is making a mobius scarf. Yippee.. knitting love all around.

Re: beaded bag
Date: 2004-02-06 08:29 pm (UTC)I used rowan 4-ply and the pattern from a jaeger knits accessories pattern book. Unfortunately Tangled web has ordered the book but has not yet gotten it in (they ordered it in october) so they photocopied one design. I have the photocopy. If you want one I think that since getting the book is so hard I doubt copyright would quibble. Let me know.
This wouldbe something cool to use for a night out. say, to an event of some kind. it SCREAMS evening bag. Right now I need to get some silver cord to lace through it for the drawstring. Any ideas where?
