Hello, Everyone,

Finished the Blue Floral Box Bag
a good-sized project bag for sox.
zipper: Sullivans 'MAKE-A-ZIPPER' a 5½ yard roll + 12 zipper pulls
purchased online at Create For Less
Then came my Færie Box Bag
just 'bout right size to hold a shawl project.
zipper: double-ended sport zipper
which I cut to size, leaving another zip a couple of inches longer than the first for another box bag
And,
a Pink Rose Floral Box Bag perfecto for any sized knitting project,
just because :^) I love this print!
zipper: 'Make-A-Zipper' on a roll comes in many colors - some in LOUD Brights
All made from STASH fabric, zippers and beads
so no need at all to shop.

Oh, you can bet,
I've been knitting!
Progress on Blueberry Vodka Lemonade Sweater
as of Monday.
Lots of progress since -
but haven't taken time out from knitting to do photos.
Will attempt to get a good shot over the weekend.
Am also, working on my Franklin's Journey.
Once, again, I'm further along than this pic but added this one just 'cause I ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ this colorway.
I have completed the shawl body portion and have begun the charcoal grey border.

Our temps have cooled -
down to the 90s with low humidity.
Feels dry.
It's mid-July, summer's in full swing.
Not certain how veggie gardens are fairing
with our dry season,
but there's certainly been enough sunshine!
Now that our temps have dropped from the 100s
Hubby and I will be having our coffee outside in the shade.

Your blue sweater is really coming along! I love that colorway. I also really love the shawl you just started on, fantastic as always! Stay cool : )
ReplyDeleteIvy, I've been knitting like a mad woman trying to finish the body so I can p/u the sleeves.

Camp Loopy keeps me busy, that's for certain.

Your knitting is coming along very nicely. We my have to have a real Blueberry Vodka Lemonade beverage once you finish this project. Franklin is flying right along as well.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Betty. A BVL sounds wonderful 'bout now.

Love the Fibernymph Charcoal colorway for the border.

Don't you love those box bags? I'm going to make more but not sure when. I really Love BVL; it's going to be fantastic when it's finished. And I just had to smile when I was FJ again. I bet that gray border will set it off. Great job on everything (as usual)
