Real, actual finished objects
First off, and finally, mittens for the Soaring Eagles Project
Those two on the top were experiments. Now they are heading to the tree, As a wise man once said "If I put it on the tree, it's an ornament". I started with Gifted mittens, by Katie Gilbert, and the pinkandpurple ones (the standard girl color) follows it. But when I went to do the orange ones, I realized my gauge was way the hell off. In something a lot close to the right gauge I disliked the main seam, but I still love her thumb. So I got her pattern to work in the round. And now I swear I will never do mittens any other way again.
My second finished object of the night (I have yet to go to bed, it's still night) is the Miranda bag, from Lazy Girl Designs. It's a gift for my Grandmother-in-law
Who thankfully does not read this blog. And no, I am not a cruel woman, she has a thing for frogs. The main fabric there is from the In The Bog collection by Anne Ormsby. The trim was picked up at Jo-Ann's, because I refused to spend $9.00 a yard for trim. And besides, they were out of the rest of it at the quilt shop.
I do want one of these for myself. I mean, look at how this thing opens up.
We're talking perfect knitting bag. Now if I can just figure out how to get a zipper into the thing.
I'll keep you posted.
