Bags


You may (or not) recognise this little gem as the Felted Bag that Cathy Zielske has been knitting and displaying on her blog. Well I thought I would give it a go as I have been known to knit in my time. This is my first effort so it needs a little modifying, but I was pretty happy with it. It’s like I need something else to occupy my time – NOT! But when I can’t scrap I have found I can knit…..like waiting for the bus to come in from school in the afternoons or watching TV with Steve. I’m not sure that he thinks it’s such a good idea, he keeps looking at me strangely.

I’m now attempting the shoulder bag on Donna Downey’s blog now…..they are very quick to knit up and the results after they have been felted is quite impressive. Now Renae wants one too.

We had a very busy weekend catching up on things around the house. Our washing machine decided it was time to be replaced on Saturday and then the chlorinator cell in the pool joined in on the fun……why is that things decided to go on the blink at the same time and the worst possible times too. Conspiracy I think!

Judy and Michael arrive on Wednesday so there is much to do before that so I best disappear and do those things that we do before visitors arrive.
Take care until next time.
