Spin A Yarn for Ewe

The beaded bag was the project of the weekend but because it was a weekend where we did a whole bunch of stuff I didn't get quite as much done as I wanted. Plus it makes for slow knitting in the car. I am almost done with the first side and it really is pretty I think.

It is hard to photograph exactly how it looks until you get it on the purse frame because the beads have weight and will hang down slightly when it is done. You would be surprised how heavy it is already and that is only half the bag or almost half.

My knitting distractions included a trip to Sea World and lots of gardening. It seems like we never have enough plants and some of the experiments have bit the dust so new ones had to be planted.

I also got the yarn for the Dream Sweater so I joined the KAL. I did swatch with it and got gauge so I will start work on that too this week. I haven't forgotten about the fingerless mitts either and take those with me in the car as they are the easiest to pick up and put down at a moments notice. 3 more rounds of ribbing and the first is done. I also spun up some of the merino/tencel roving I dyed last week. That is some very yummy stuff that I will for sure be buying again.

So really the fact that I got that far on the purse is just sheer luck.
