I really need to Post!

I pretty much finished the little Quinn Cabled Bag  and it’s gorgeous. I say pretty much because I didn’t get the strap sewn on before I gave it to my little sister. I also didn’t block it or line it. My sis will do a better job of putting in a lining anyway and I wanted to leave the choice of fabric up to her, but alas, the thing will never get blocked now.

 Anyway, it’s in Santa Cruz, California now with my sister, and she has almost gotten the strap sewn on… Soon she will send me a picture of herself wearing it and the matching headband – which somehow makes her look quite “bad-ass.” I just wanted her little ears to be warm up in the North.

 So what am I up to in the knitting department today, you ask? I’m knitting my very first sweater. And it’s a big one! It’s for my hubby and I need to finish it before his birthday on the 30th! That gives me about 20 days. I was working on it all last week in the car on our cross country trip, but I still have a long way to go.

 Take a look:

 

After spending too long trying to figure how to get the pics formatted for this site, I had lunch. Here is  a picture of Casey during lunch. He is perched on the back of our couch:    

This is what he’s after:

 That’s it for today.
