I have been bad




New yarn and I said I would not buy more until I use up more of what I have. But I could not resist. The first pic of yarn is for a poncho. It is hand painted yarn and the funny thing is, I was with my daughter and she picked out the same colorway of yarn. The second yarn is for socks...bright isn't it?

The picture of me holding the knitted yarn is going to be a purse...felted. I learned how to knit with circular needles and this is my 3rd purse...the first 2 have been given away without a pic. Good thing I had the yarn so I did not buy new for it. I am not sure what kind of handle I will do with it yet. On my others I did an I-cord (another first for me) The purses are really neat...I just cast on about 40 to 60 stitches and knit until I get the length I want. Then I do a three needle bind off. (another new trick I have learned) This purse I did a little different, I added another color in the middle. When I am done with the second color, I will go back to the first color. And yes, I will take a picture of it.
