I'm going to cast-on for my mini Timberline Toe sock this next week and try to work on my Sahara sweater at least once. I also would like to finish the last part of the sleeves on my ballet top and sew them on. Then I will have one less work-in-progress staring at me (it's almost done).

You can never have too many purses
From this:
To this:
Introducing the Shar-pei Purse. It's knitted flat then the first and last rows of each color are sewn together to make the rolls for the purse and also gathered together to wrinkle them up. If I had sewn them tighter it would have a more wrinkled look but I wanted the bag to be a little bit bigger so it would be usable. It was a fun project because I got to try six different kinds of yarn and I liked to see how the next color and type would look and feel. It was also very easy to pick up and put down whenever I needed to which is probably why it got finished before I made any progress on my other projects. I haven't had a huge block of time to sit and knit and therefore was only able to work on an easy knit.

Beautiful Lacy-ness
My Falling Leaves socks are finished! I took them with me on our trip this weekend to weave in the loose ends. I used two of my Knit Picks Size 1 circular needles and Lang Jawoll superwash sock yarn in Lavender. This is the first time I've used this yarn so I just have to wait and see how they hold up after wearing and washing to make a final judgement. I liked the feeling of the yarn when I was knitting it and they feel very silky and soft on my feet.
I started my Shar-pei purse and am about halfway done with the actual knitting. After the knitting is done there is quite a bit of sewing that needs to take place so I don't anticipate it being finished this week. Maybe next week.
