I’ve been working hard and I have a bunch of things to talk about…  in the purse department. First, I mentioned last week that I was going to work with some purple Lambs Pride Worsted.  I really felt like I wanted a small bag, that looked like a little basket.  I wanted a ruffle at the top, and I wanted a circular bag.  I decided that I wanted the handle to be one that ties into a knot so that you can have it hang from your wrist.  This is what 4 days riding … [Read more...]

I really felt like I needed a “project” to get back into my knitting.  Something really easy, that would go quickly, and honestly, something that I wouldn’t keep.  When I got the email from Knitting Arts about Niko’s Red Scarf project, I knew I had a winner.

We walked around the non-trendy shop area, and I bought two sweaters and a belt at Oasis.  I was surprised what a good shopper John is.  He is totally patient, let me look and try things on and … [Read more...]

John at the Guinness Factory.  We did some shopping at the factory, but the cue was so long, we decided not to take the tour. John is the tall one…  In the center. … [Read more...]
