full of knit

must admit, i haven't knit much lately. for some reason i have decided i would rather work the daily crossword puzzle instead. at least with knitting i feel a sense of accomplishment - the last week i've only completed one puzzle.

i think next will be nearly gloves. great for those chilly morns (but luckily not bitter) when i need to fish out my car keys and work badge. trying to use up the stash, so will need to do some yarn conversion math.

so i had to finish the fabric bag i was making for a gift to give this weekend. whipped out the sewing maching to sew together the knit fabric panels plus lining and handles - only to find the sewing machine didn't work.....argg..... spent three hours and sewing (not very well) the purse together. it looks great from a distance; just don't look too closely at the stitching. i remembered why i like those knitting projects with little to no seams for finishing.
