Found a little time to take some pictures of some WIPs that aren't intended for people who come by here often. The first project is a bag for my friend Brooke. I'm using Lopi 100% Icelandic wool. I'm not so sure if Icelandic wool is super awesome, but the yarn is really nice and the colors are gorgeous. The main color is a deep cranberry, and the secondary color is mustard-curry color. I'm using the secondary color to knit the Ohm into the bag. Here's what I have so far:
It is 50 stitches, the center 30 are the pattern and are stocknet stitch. The outer ten on each side are seed stitch.
There's a better shot of the colors. And the picture on the left is a partial of the pattern.
I also finally started knitting with some crazy yarn I'd oogled forever and finally snagged on a big sale. I'm not sure how I feel about the results:
It kind of has that threadbare look to it. It is SOOOOO soft and cozy, and I really like the colors. The bottom is a bell....I love ruffle-y bottoms! I'm doing 10 rows orange, 6 rows pink because I have 2 skeins orange but only 1 pink
I can't imagine a garment made out of this, and it is too fragile for anything utilitarian. So, what do you think? At first I didn't like it, but it is starting to grow on me.

it is really cool that you can make something like that. It is strange that you like to knit because you are so young, but just imagine how good you will be when you are old, when your friends will just be starting. I like the colors. very good job, you will have to show us how they look when they turn out.
