Parade of WIPs!

Without further ado.....

Two bags ready for felting (I'm waiting to make the purple Icord until my handy magic knitter comes!). The first one is the purple bag with Dazzle on the top. When it came time to add the eyelash I did a little reverse thingy so that the purl side was on the outside, since that is where most of my *lashes* were - wouldn't want to waste them on the inside.



Here is the bright felted bag, I've been working on. I changed the pattern a little, I hope that it felts up okay.



Here are two ties that I am working on. After visiting my lys, I'm wondering if I'm just plain crazy. Dagmar, the owner of the shop was saying that when she made one tie out of the Regia sock yarn, she swore she would never make another - because it took forever. Oh dear, what have I gotten myself into???

The first one is with Sockotta yarn on size 2 needles.



This one is with the Regia Sock yarn on size 3 needles. I am planning for this one to be for Pete.



Here is the progress I'm making on Ahren's sweater. I was a bit stalled on it because I ran out of yarn. But I fixed that today with a run to AC Moore.



I also got the keepsake bag finished, I still have to work on some kind of closure, not exactly sure how to that, I should have planned this better, but I was experimenting, so it's okay.



Purchases!

Well, since is pay day (for dh at least!) I got some much needed supplies. At AC Moore, I was able to get the rest of the yarn for Ahren's sweater, while there I had an extra coupon that I used for a new pair of bamboo circ needles (sz. 10 1/2), I really needed them since it seems that that size always has something on them (usually a Booga J bag), and it was creating problems.

I also did some damage at www.elann.com - baby! talk about awesome deals - I got yarn skeins for less than $2.00 each - whoa! I was quite thrilled and am a little bit fearful of the damage that this could do to my checkbook!

I have cleaned the scrapbooking room and have started getting the gifts and displays all ready for Saturday, but I still need to finish the rest of the living room/dining room and finish the gifts. I'm hoping that Sean will fall asleep at a semi-decent hour tonight - uh, it's now 9:42, I don't think it is likely. :(
