Sophie Bag - 95% Done

I am almost done wtih the Sophie Bag, it was a super easy pattern and I enjoyed doing it BUT I've now come to the handles and I have no idea what to do :o( I'm gonna have to go into the knitting store one of these nights and have them help me. The handles are I-Cord and I've figured out how to do it but the pattern doesn't make sense unless I'm just not getting it. Amy was over for dinner last night and she wasn't quite sure of it either so I'll have to turn to the professionals. I love how the colors came out though and I can't wait to finish it and felt it. I used a brown and rose color and it looks great.

Until I figure out what I need to do to finish my Sophie Bag I am working on a K2P2 Ribbed Hat for Rocky for when we go to New York. I'm using Annie Blat Alpaca, it's very very soft. We had a seen one at Bloomingdales that Rocky liked but we can make one just as nice and not $100..haa, haa..so take that Bloomie's. I've also started another felted bag from my One Skein book. I am going to use black, grey and pink and do a stripe pattern like in the book.

Stay tuned for more pics.

Happy Knitting!

Finished Clutch


I still need to sew on the buttons but it's complete :o) my first felted bag. I just finished knitting the Bell Hat and just need to felt it. Last night we had a few of the girls over for knitting and managed to be productive. Lately we meet but all we do is eat and drink wine and barely have time for knitting. Last night we knitted for 2 hours. I started the Sophie Bag. I'll post pictures up soon of the Bell Hat and Sophie Bag in progress......Happy Knitting!
