Who Doesn't Love Maxine ! !

Waaay back in May I was lucky enough to be picked the winner of Chris' big giveaway on
go check out her latest blog post, you may be THE lucky one this time ! ! ! 

This gal knows how to pack LOADS OF GOODNESS into any ol' box you put in front of her.

Chris sent me Maxine Fabric and I made drawstring project bags with some of the fabric.

My Multnomah Shawl 
sits atop of a pink bag :*)


I found that these pink bags holds
my knit projects
more than any of the others
except perhaps maybe the green.



I've been busy painting my ex-darkroom
and now in the process of returning all that's been stored in the garage area back to whence it came.
Though I do hope to toss a bit here and there.

Spent a number of hours knitting on
my Boneyard Shawl
designed by Stephen West.
Should have this off the needle this evening
so that tomorrow I can give it a soak
and blocking.

    Congratultions! The bags are very cute. So, you paint too? I have a brush all ready with your name on it when you finish your foom! It's the perfect time because the weather is pleasant. Then we can sit and knit socks. I am getting ready to cast on my first pair of toe up socks, I'll keep you posted. xx

    Great bags Gerry, so lively and colourful! Keeping busy I see! It always amazes me how many gorgeous things are being made in craft blog land! I wish I could do some more knitting. Maybe it's time for a new wooly project eh?

    The colors are a delight.

    Cleaning out old storage is a bit like reviewing a range of ones history.
