So, this is really boring. The raglan edge for my lace trim bolero. The back is done, but I got distracted with sewing. My new serger is a lot of fun. I made a couple of summer skirts (perfect for the hot weather) and a dress for dd#1. I'll try and get some pictures up. And now I'm really tempted to start one skein wonder. I mean its everywhere. I also ordered some Araucania
Nature cotton in turquoise. Yum!

Observant Are You?

Just a mental note for myself...
I love this little tank top. And this one.

Oh oh oh.. did you see the new sock yarn from knitpicks? I love the pumpkin color!

Here's Lelah... I still need to crochet around the neckline. But I love it otherwise. I guess its been a while since I blogged. Knitting wise, I started on the the lace trim bolero from VK S/S 2005. So far so good. I'm using Jo Sharp Soho Summer light blue on size 4 needles.

My serger arrived and I finished a very simple summer skirt. I'll post a picture soon. I've been looking for simple summer skirts for a while now and boy is it a pain to go shopping for cloths. Shopping for fabric on the other hand is fun!

I finished the little purse this morning. Yipee! Its a tad bit smaller than I want, but I love it nonetheless. I might make one slightly bigger for myself and give this one for dd#1. It has a snap closure. I'm still not sure what I'm going to knit next, but I might make one of these cute wallets!

Lelah is done and on the blocking board. I love it. I got a green ribbon for the tie. I'm still deciding what to do next. Either tivoli or the isis wrap from Interweave Summer 05.

I'm really into making bags this week too. I made a tote bag for dd#2's stuff for eating out (picture later). I got some fabric yesterday and planning on making a little purse for myself (and probably a matching one for dd#1). I found wonderful instructions here. I'm putting metal snaps on the bag and was lucky enough to find the last pair at Joann's (they were put on clearance and I actually found the very last pair in one of the bins). Hopefully I can get started on the purse this weekend. I've been looking forever for the right purse, now maybe I can make one!

Today's conversation with dh:
Me: I'm going to the yarn store this afternoon, they have a sale.
DH: You just went to Joann's yesterday.
Me: Joann's is a fabric store. Yarn store sells yarn.
DH: I bet there must be a needle store, thread store,... (snicker)
Me: I wish! :)

Happy 4th!
