Snowbound!


Ok, we're not exactly snowbound...we could get out if we wanted to.  But all the coffee and yarn is here, so we're not going anywhere!

The weather has put me in the mood to knit something chunky and  super warm, so I started a cowl with this bulky yarn from Isaac Mizrahi.  

When I bought it, the color (and price) appealed to me.  It's about 15% wool;  to me that would be great for gifting. It is a single with a little bit of a halo.  It's not splitty or squeaky. Ahh But the colors!  I love it. This one is called appropriately, Fashion. 
I finished my TARDIS socks. (My geek heart loves that my autocorrect capitalizes that...:))

Cool!  They are the TARDIS Tribute Socks  and they fit like a glove!

I also used the snow day time off to work on another project bag and I think this is the best one yet! 

Aw.  It's cute without being too cutesy.  I don't do cutesy.
 
l'll work on another one tonight.  They are really quick and use two or three fat quarters, depending on the look you're going for. Soon I'll be confident enough to work on apparel. My sewing experience consists mainly of pillows and curtains.  Nothing too complicated. 

Tonight I'll drink too much coffee and resist the urge to go on Etsy and expand my stash.  I'll work on this cowl and maybe do a little spinning.  More on that in another post.
