Since I caught up on all my lace repeat sections I needed to get to on my gift Branching Out scarf during this long holiday weekend, I decided to distract myself with a bunch of wee little knits to use up some of my single left-over skeins in my stash in addition to finishing the knitting portion of monkey1's Booga Bag.I have the One Skein Petal Bib in my leftover KnitPicks (KP) Shine Sport skein in Apricot being knitted up on size 6 needles per the pattern. Didn't check gauge 'cause I'd be halfway thru the bib by the time I finished a swatch. In any case, I'm done w/the bib portion and am working on the i-cord tie. This will be my first official knitted object where I officially wrap my short rows. And while I did a decent job hiding the wraps on the knit side, I didn't do so well on the purl side. I'll need to practice that more. In any case, I plan to do one more petal bib in my leftover KP Shine Sport skein in Butter.
I finished knitting monkey1's Booga Bag. All it needs now is to be felted. I used up 2 hanks of the Mango Moon Wooly (Woolie?) for the bag portion and a little bit of the 3rd hank for the i-cord straps. I still have 2 more hanks of Mango Moon Wooly that along w/the leftover 3rd may be enough for a small French Market Bag. I think by the time we make it back up to my mil's cabin, I may be done w/that bag so I can felt both at the same time. Since I'm totally experimenting here, I don't have any expectations on the finished size. I just want to make sure the shape is close enough.Somehow I lost my pics of a couple more almost FO's. Will try to post those later.
