A Finished Object!

I don't know how some of you do it. Work, knit, make an almost daily entry in your blog, have a life...Very impressive! My plan to post every three days is STILL hard to keep up with - lol.

Anyway I have a finished object! The felted tote - ready for use (more or less):

I like it but...see how floppy the handles are? I want to reinforce them a little or they are going to pull all out of shape when I use it. I'm also going to put a snap on it to hold the edges together so nothing falls out. So I'm thinking I might use velcro along the handle edges and see if that helps. Not that any of this will stop me from using it. Aside from the floppy handles, I really like the way it turned out.

And here is the sweater I mentioned. The one I don't know if I'm going to keep or frog:

YOW! It looks pretty ugly on the hanger! Great pooling, too! Here's a close up of the stitch:

This is the linen stitch. I was really curious to see what it would look like with a variegated yarn. But as you can tell from the picture of the sweater, I didn't have quite enough variegate to finish it, so I found something in my stash that matched. This is regular old Red Heart and a basic pattern I'd created for myself ages ago. Do you think it would look better as a short sleeve semi-heavy t-shirt? Please leave your opinion - I need your help!!

And last but not least - the blue baby hat. All I have left is the last two I-cord topnotches, then sew up the back. I have checked the size on this every few inches - it BETTER BE RIGHT!!

Not that this is an official FO...tomorrow it'll be official :)

Until then...

Oh...wait...I forgot to mention, Kathy C. found me THREE balls of Fiesta cotton - YEAH!! So I'm going to make one more DW cloth and then I'm going to try the bee st with the Fiesta yarn.
