I need to have an apron or a sign that says "Watch Out! I'm Sewing" when I haul out the sewing machine to work on a project! This time, I actually had 2 projects, but one is secret. The one I can talk about is called the Manhattan Bag. I bought the pattern and a stack of complimentary fat quarters abouttttttt........3 years ago, from Craft Warehouse. Yeah, I'm a slow sewer. I had all of the stripes cut out and ready to sew together 2 years ago, but then I got a cold and put it all away and never had the energy to pull it back out to finish it. Well, it took 5 hours one evening, but I got it all done! I even made a pocket that my iphone fits into perfectly.Oh, you spotted that yummy St. Cupcake big top cupcake did you? Well, it matched my bag and outfit perfectly, how could I not get it? That was from the yarn crawl at the beginning of this month, that I didn't blog about.
In a situation like this you have to ask, What would Tony Danza Do??? Well, he would link to Tami's blogpost, because she did an awesome write up from the yarn crawl, and since I was with her the whole time, I don't know if I really need to try and one-up her. There's even a bonus picture of me eating almonds :)
so, here's what I bought:
2 Sivia Harding patterns from Twisted
Namaste Buddy from For Yarn's Sake
2 Skeins of Universal Star Light yarn in White and Blue from Naked Sheep
1 skein malabrigo lace in blue from Happy Knits
2 samples of unicorn wool wash and rinse
The hat that everyone recognized us by and complimented me on:
Si Capitan!
Pattern: Capitan by Rosi Garmendia
yarn - malabrigo worsted
turtle buttons from the button emporium
