Ages, it seems like

. . . . . ages since I last blogged. But have been kept busy trying to quench my thirst for a couple of great new bags. I found these on Ravelry and have been crocheting away. Not certain what I’ll be doing with these new bags, however, the Hot Green and Yellow Starling Bag, Jr. [ FutureGirl ] is holding my Cookie A KAL project at the moment. The Fat Bottom Bag [Stitch ‘n Bitch Crochet], I know will be just the first of several. This was fun to make, easy to line. Lining these bags puts them at the top of my list of things I’m enjoying this week.

Tea Cozy beginning

This is the first side of the Tuileries Tea cozy
as you can see it's on a circular needle and I did not cast on both sides so that I could knit 2-at-a-time. Next time I'll give it a little thought first.
The Sugar 'n Creme cotton does not have the stretch that wool has and is harder to work with, but I think I'll like it when I can throw it in the washer and have it come out of the dryer as nice as all those knit dish clothes.

New Project ! ! New Project ! ! !

This pattern from The Knitter Issue 5
Isn't this the cutest you've seen?

I'm going to use Sugar 'n Creme yarn in Wine Bourgogne, Sage Green, Jute and Light Blue. As you can see, I've picked as close to the illustration as possible [allowing for the selection that Hobby Lobby would allow]

After all that's one of the reasons this cozy caught my eye.

But first I must get back to my KAL sox.
