I can’t believe it’s been more than a week since I posted. Whoops. I feel like I’ve been everywhere. I know there’s just so much going on, but for the life of me I don’t know what. Last night I gave a talk/demo on spinning to the Hononegah Women’s group. We all had a blast. I really enjoy myself on these talks. Of course I could talk spinning/knitting forever, so it’s more like get me to shut up.
Last week we went to a little festival out in Cedarville – that was a lot of fun and as per usual I spent my budget with no problems on some great little foibles and fiber.
I have made a little progress and started more projects. I’ve almost got the body done for my FLS.
I also started a little hat for my little cousin that is turning 1. These cupcake hats are all the rage for my knitting group. I thought she would look cute. Anyway, I’m done with the pesky part, so now it’s the fun part.
I did cast on a few new socks. I’m back on two at a time, toe up. I haven’t done this since I first learned to knit socks, so I’m re-visiting the technique and having fun.
I also finished a pair of car socks – they’re easy enough to knit in the car. By the way this is Wisdom Yarn’s Chicago and the knots were nuts. As you can see they don’t match. At one point I was like whatever and just finished them before I pitched the yarn – knitted project and all in the trash. As you may already guess – I’m staying away from this yarn with a ten foot pole. 
Finally I couldn’t resist. I picked up these great little project bags. I couldn’t decide on a pattern, so I got three. These are very nicely done and very inexpensive. A great size and has a nice pocket and good draw string. Super fast shipping also – I order on Friday and had by Monday. Gotta love that.
These came from BlueTulips on Etsy. Go over and have a browse. You know you want too… heheh.

You’ve been busy as a bee. Don’t forget to save some energy for your visit here! That hat will really be adorable and your FLS is looking great.
Once you get past the garter st. this sweater goes pretty quickly (I’m on my third…it’s now my go to pattern!). For size, I found that if you go to one size smaller then your measurements it will fit like a dream! It does tend to grow soit works out better going smaller.
