I FINISHED SOMETHING!!! Art Sunday


Crocheted bag, 8 x 15". Wool/cotton blend crochet thread.
Rayon lining.
11/2007



I have just finished this up last week, it's for ME!
Small knitting bags for carrying socks and other small projects are very useful.
I know, I've learned how to knit socks standing up,
it keeps my "balls" from running off while I wait
in these long December checkout lines...



Here's what's kind of funny, after going to "Wickedly Innocent"'s blog (she's hosting Art Sunday this week), I think this accidently wintery colored bag actually includes some of her favorite colors!
