End of an Era
I just got back from Peoria. After 22 years, Mom closed her clothing store this weekend. I'm so happy for her. I'm torn though...I will be getting more visits from her, but I will desperately miss shopping at her store. My husband will miss me shopping at her store too! :)
I am almost finished with the "surprise" baby gift. I was hoping to have it finished when I went home, but knitting on small, metal needles slowed my hands down a little bit.
The other projects I put on needles recently are the "Lucy Purse" from Two Old Bags. It has been a nice break from the "surprise". I did knit a Felted Carpet Bag from Noni Patterns. It's on display at CY, so I'll have to get a picture and post it. It turned out really cute. I'm really behind on my picture taking. Not sure I'll be getting to that soon. DH and I are going to see Cowboy Mouth on Friday night! Yippy! Unfortuanetly, we won't be having Paul and John over this time, because we will be leaving bright and early Sat morning for vacation. We are going to a spa in Mexico. Of course, I'll be taking some knitting for the flight there and back. I'm going to try and refrain from taking too many projects, knowing I'll be worshiping the sun most of the time (with sunscreen!)
I did take a quick picture of what I did with the leftovers from "Mitten Mania". I made Elizabeth Zimmerman's Baby Surprise Jacket, something I've been wanting to do since The Opinonated Knitter came out. I also made computer cover from Alterknits and still have yarn left!

Isn't that BSJacket an incredible pattern? It is fun to do, quite a mystery until the end. but a great surprise. So easy to do as well -- anyone can do it. It's a great thing to make with leftovers-- any colours can be mixed together and they always seem to work. Looks great!!
