Yarn came, Yippeee!!

Well, after waiting for my yarn to arrive for an entire week, it finally came :). I paid for Prioirity Mail, but it was sent UPS Ground---super slooooooooow service. It doesn't matter though is here and now I can keep going with my mom's Mother's Day bag. I hope I can get it done on time. Miriam, I need your help :)!! Help!!! I am going to make eyelets for the handles and I have no idea how to do it. Can you point me in the right direction to look on the web? Is it just an yo? Or do I need to bind off a certain amount of stitches? Unchartered territory coming up.  How about a session? :).



Ok, I have to be really honest here--I AM LOVING KNITTING WITH NEEDLES. The fact that there are patterns already made makes creating things a lot easier, not to mention having lots of help around and meeting people that share the same interest.

As you may have noticed, I have been absent from a lot of the KWON groups and from the blog, well, Sam has been really busy typing away papers and junk for school. The good news, he is done with his papers. The bad news, he still has a major final on Friday :(.

Here are some pictures of my yarn-there is more of each color, but I thought just to give you a peak :).


Oh, I also ordered some Lamb's Pride for my Oregon Tote bag. I really need a diaper bag, I am tired of carrying the one they give at the hospital. It seems that everyone in Cache Valley has one and I want to look different, so that is my next bag after my Mom's present is finished.

Do any of you know where I can obtain beaded handles? I would like to have my mom's bag with beaded handles? Thanks a bunch :).

Hi Isela,
You can find every kind of purse handle you might
need at www.mjtrim.com

Hmmm, this might mean we'll have to come up with some loom and needle hybrid patterns.
Like say starting out on a loom, then transfer
everything to needles for decreases.

Oh Isela, I have such mixed feelings about you loving needle knitting! I feel like we are betraying our looms! Isn't that crazy? I want to needle knit too. But I don't want to abandon my beautiful looms! Oh, such conflict.

Hey, love the picture of you knitting away up there in the corner! You cutie-pie!

Hmm.... the hole for the strap/handles depends on what kind of strap/handles you're going to be using. If you're just doing a yo, then go here (http://www.knittinghelp.com/knitting/basic_techniques/increase.php) and scroll down to the bottom to watch the video. If you want to do an applied i-cord edging with buttonholes underneath, it's probably best if I show you. You've got my card, so go ahead and give me a call when you're ready.
