As I think IM is now saying: “All done!”. From this:
To this in about 15 min:
I was questionable when I got done knitting, but it finished so well and my LYS’ owner was very impressed! I was sad to hear the fingerless mitts had been given to someone else to do, but this project will be much better (and pay more!):
It’s a garter stitch shawl with a short row edging that makes a ruffle, in Schaeffer Anne. I’ve been interested in trying out the Schaeffer yarn, and this is a perfect chance!
And of course I couldn’t leave the store without a purchase, so I bought one more skein of Mountain Colors Mountain Goat in Ruby River so I can make something soon!
I also got two packages today. I ordered this from Sassenach yarns on Etsy.com and I consider it the most gorgeous sock yarn ever:
And I got two cute stitch markers with it too! I also got my Kpixie order, including these from Bartlett Yarns:
and of course when I heard No No Kitty was no more, I had to buy this sock yarn, even though I’m not sure it will make a whole pair:
Now I’d better get to making some socks!

That bag has such an interesting construction, and only two skeins you say? Awesome.
It actually took me a bit more than 2 (like 2 1/2) but someone else I talked to did it in 2 only. It’s in the new Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton Noro book. The construction along with the colors make the bag. It is really beautiful!
whoa.. that noro bag is so nifty! i’m not a huge variegated yarn girl, but i love it!
and soooo much yarn… i will not drool on the laptop….
that bag is so nice. i love it!!!
and i am so jealous of your new yarn. it’s a good thing no one can see mee. i look kinda weird touching the screen to my cheek, but the yarn is pretty…
Hey, I saw your finished bag at the LYS in San Mateo, looking sharp! The shop owner can’t say enough about you as her ultra-fast sample knitter!
I guess I’m not a slow knitter after all! Thanks for the report and compliments!
