Fat Bottom Bags

I've finished two Fat Bottom Bags, one for myself (the green one) and one for my sister (the variegated one). I still have to buy some handles, the only ones I've found cost almost 8e... I'm hoping to find cheaper ones when I go home next week!





I finished my first March sock a while back and was then overcome by the dreaded second sock syndrome :( I'll start it someday, honestly. The progress of my clapotis is also being held because I am honestly so bored with that pattern and I messed up a bit... I should really frog it and start over again.

Should I study? No I think I'll make some stitch markers instead...

I should have spent the last few hours studying, but I got distracted and decided to make stitch markers instead!

I've started knitting myself a clapotis out of some variegated pink sock yarn and these will come in handy, I'm getting tired of using bits of yarn for stitch markers. I still need to make 7 more, the pattern calls for 18!

I've finished one of my March socks, they're Harry Potter themed. I used the Finnish toe up pattern I mentioned in an earlier post. I'll post pics of both at some point when I get around to it, the only reason I'm posting now is to keep the blog going... if I don't post every so often I'll stop alltogether.

I bought some yarn to make a Fat Bottom Bag, from Debbie Stoller's crochet book. The yarn was on sale, I was looking for something completely different but it called to me... and it was on sale :)

My "stash"

I don't have any new knitting to showcase, I've been very busy (the kind where you can't believe it's only Tuesday.) So I did something I've been meaning to do for a while, I took photos of my "stash" and uploaded them to blogger. It's quite meagre, I did some stash busting in January and I've only been to a LYS once this year to buy yarn for the panta swap (and I didn't buy anything else, even though I was tempted.) It sucks to be on a tight knitting budget.

I've been thinking of trying my hand at spinning my own yarn and there's even this spinning class I'd love to go to on Mondays but alas I have school 'til 18.40 so I can't go :(

I've even saved all the little leftover bits from previous projects, just in case! (I'm such a pack rat...)

Been lazy

I finished my Tubey the other day, it's not as itchy as I thought it would be... the only place it really itches a lot is at the back of my neck (and it's kind of driving me crazy!) Lord I hate that photo, but alas it was the best I could do!

I finished the Greenery hat for the KAL ages ago, but I'm only now getting around to posting photos of it.

I sent out two Panta's to my partner panic_paizlee in the Panta swap over at Craftster, I'll post photos of them once she receives.
