Another purse and a podcast on the way
February 06, 2008 Knitting
The only crafting I've had time for this week has been the completely mindless sort of knitting where you pick it up and knit without thinking or counting. You just breath and knit and life is good for a few rows. This is great way to recover from the white-knuckle commute home on scary, snow-covered West Michigan roads.
I was so pleased with how Abby's felted purse turned out, that I had to make one for Amelia, too. The design is Ruth Boelkins' nonstop knits Mini Felted Tote Purse pattern and it's super easy. I've been lugging this project around in my bag all week.
I usually always have a project with me, so I'm never caught waiting in line somewhere without a nerve-calming distraction. I ALWAYS feel better about waiting when I have a project to work on. They should offer free knitting lessons while people wait forever at the Secretary of State's office. That could possibly help reduce the collective anger among the customers waiting in uncomfortable chairs because knitting can really take the edge off.
Speaking of projects, I'm still planning to post a new podcast this week. If all goes well, it will get posted tomorrow.
