The Eagle Has Landed!!!

The Frugalhaus bag is done! And despite the ugly RH yarn, it is adorable. I got home from work this morning and just flat out decided I was not going to bed until I sewed the bottom on. This afternoon (after what seemed like a mere 5 hours of sleep) I brought my overdue library books back in my new bag (yay!) to pay my (gasp) $15 fine - and that was after a break from the library lady. (I hate to put a squash on reading but we're going to have to limit the number of books checked out at the Gary household.)

Back to the bag. I am definitely making more of these. I think these will become little project bags. It took either 6 or 8 ounces to make this bag and it's quite tall. I think the subsequent bags will be squattier (is that a word?) with a nice cable down the center. That would be cute, cute, cute!

Bag Almost Done, Videocast, Not...

I've almost got the Frugalhaus bag done. All I have left is a few more rows on the bottom and then sew it on. I sized the bag up a little so naturally, I don't have quite enough yarn. Somewhere is a hat I made with this yarn which will probably be frogged (once I find it) since I don't really like it very much. I do like the looks of this bag, tho'. This will become my library book bag.

The video podcast is another story. I'm working nightshift, 6 days a week for 12 hours a day and just can't seem to find the time to get to it. I am sooooo tired everyday; my work is very physical and the hours are heinous. I get the kids ready and off to school in the morning after work and try to spend a few minutes before I go to sleep to knit or read. I guess the podcast will have to wait. Sorry.
