Bag Information

I neglected to include the design location for the bags last week so here they are.  I have several designs from both of these sites and they are great to sew up.  

Owl cases Embroidery Garden

Zipper Bags - with stitched lines from Embroidery Garden

Easy Zipped Bags from Digistitches.  This is the bag that I inserted the embroidery designs in, design has a place holder where you can insert designs.  

Both of these sites have newsletters you can sign up for and they often have sales and promotions.

As for knitting this week I got one sock done, Sockdolager pattern from the Sock Madness ravelry group.  The yarn is  hand painted Manos del Uruguay - Algeria - 8686 - Ceibo from EatSleepKnit.

Socks and Bags

I headed south last weekend to visit DD2 in Texas.  It was warm and sunny there but cold and snowy when I headed back to Iowa on Monday.  At least I flew the day before they cancelled flights in and out of Chicago!

I've been working on finishing the purple/green socks (Katniss pattern, yarn Lorna's Lace Shepard Sock).  One sock is done and one almost has the heel turned and just the foot left.

I've also been making bags, in the hoop bags on my embroidery machine.  I made a few knitting bags that were given as a gift, a couple for me, a new bag sized for my Kindle and an owl bag.  I'm also including the "what not to do" version of the owl bag.  I thought a black/red combo would be pretty and match the other small bags I was making for myself.  It didn't turn out quite that way, black embroidered eyes on a black background don't really show up and it's reallllllly hard to open the bag if the zipper is sewn in upside down.....sigh
