Hi everyone!  Happy Thursday!   I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

time for another bag!

I found this bag at the same time I found last week’s bag.  I really have issues when i have to buy two bags at once.  but I grabbed this one first before I grabbed the bowler and I couldn’t choose between the two.   sigh.  I love bags made by Built NY.  If i could buy one of every bag they make, i totally would.

I haven’t done that much knitting this week.  i just haven’t really been in the mood.  I’ve started a few things…but not finished much.  i do have one FO to show off.

Project:  Golightly Gloves (rav link)
Yarn:  Peaches N Creme
Amount Used: 1 skein
Color: purple and white
Needle Size:  US 5 / 3.75 mm
Date Started: Feb 23, 2010
Date Finished:  Feb 25, 2010

These were made for a friend/hero of mine. :)  I just mailed them off and can’t wait until she gets them.  hehehe.  I know…the purples don’t match.  I didn’t have the gloves w/ me when i picked out the yarn.   I really did like the end result w/ the smaller needle size.  The pattern calls for US7’s.  When i made the other two sets, i felt that the gauge was too loose.  So this was a better cuff for what I wanted.  I also didn’t cut the gloves as required.  I used a small small hole puncher to make the holes to start the project.

I had startitis bad this week and started a couple of projects.  I started a new pair of socks.

I screwed up when making these.  I started off and got to about row 16 and realized I screwed up on one of the cables.  So i tried to tink back.   OMG what a mistake!  i didn’t tink back properly.  I just pulled the yarn and tried to catch the live stitches.  yeah…so stupid.  i dropped a few of them a couple of rows.  I ended having to tink back about 8 rows to start the cable section all over again.  GRRRR!!!  that’s why i don’t like cables so much.  but i love these socks so much I have to have them.

I started another bolero.  i ripped out the shrug I did before to use the yarn to start the new bolero.  We’ll see how it comes out.  Doing the socks on US1’s and then going to the bolero on US15’s is a huge adjustment.  Knitting w/ BIG needles is a bit painful too.  it’s like rowing a boat!

i”ve grown w/ my constant screw ups on Dianna shawl that I’ve put it aside for a few days before I get so frustrated i just rip the whole thing out.   hahha.

that’s all I have this week folks :)  have a great weekend!
