I started a market bag yesterday using a pattern I got in a recent exchange and one of those giant balls of cotton that I have had laying around forever. Not that I really need another market bag. I have probably about a dozen of those reusable grocery bags and my mom recently gave me this really cool "green" set that has a grocery bag and an insulated bag and a big market bag and stuff and they all match and it pretty cool. But I've always wanted to make one of those stretchy cotton market bags, so I'm doing it anyway. I got over halfway done during last night's driller game, so the project doesn't seem like it will be a lengthy commitment. Who knows, maybe I can add this to my repertoire of quick gifts. This particular pattern has a doubled bottom that is open on one side so the whole bag can fold in on itself and button closed to make it easier to carry in a purse or in your car or whatever. Pictures soon. :-) Maybe I can finish it during meal breaks of the load in of wicked this week. Or one of the nights this week.
As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn. I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn! Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does. That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop! Before the goods, a recap: I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year. I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it. This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn! You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it. Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn! It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic! Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...
