fingerless gloves

I found these gloves on the purl bee the other month, and loved the way the fingers stuck out! So I went and gathered all the necessary supplies - spent some time with my new number 7 needles, number 8 needles, and 4 skeins of yarn - and ta da! Look what emerged - one fingerless glove. Now the trick: knit the matching pair. Stay tuned...

lucy bag, part I

Over the break, I began knitting a "Lucy Bag" from Two Old Bags. It is made from 100% wool - and then when you throw it in the washing machine under hot water, it becomes a felted bag.

Here's the first picture in this series. This is the bag in it's 100% knitted wool stage, right off the needles:



Stay tuned for the next part of the series, where the bag meets hot water and begins to shrink and take shape. More to come!
