Sir Frog

Sir Frog has made another appearance...the Noro wallet I was working on? Well it turns out it was a match to one of the two skeins I bought to finish the felted purse. So I had to frog the wallet to get a skein to match to. Argh...when you buy skeins of the same colorway and lot they should all match, right? In this case they didn't. Anyway, I've ended up with 2 extra skeins. I'll have to start the wallet all over again. Of course when I went to get the yarn to finish the bag I discovered that my LYS is closed on Mondays. Then we had a couple of killer storms so by the time I got my yarn my schedule was all blown up. I wanted to have the bag felted by now! Oh, well. I only have 2 more row to knit then I can start on the i-cord handles.

My next two bags will be knit with Cascade 220. I bought 2 skeins of a beautiful aqua green and 2 skeins of dove gray. I'm also looking at a couple of new bag patterns. I haven't decided yet but I'm leaning toward a backpack bag pattern. It has i-cord straps and a large flap. I think it requires 4 skeins of the Cascade 220. I want to make it with stripes, I think.

LD is working on not having a nap today. This totally messes up my day...I have to work tonight and need to shower before I go. No nap for LD means I have to rush to shower and put on my make up when hubby comes home tonight. I don't think I'll have time for supper either.

On an up note, I was able to help out my dad today. He had to go for dental surgery to remove a broken tooth. They had to knock him out so LD and I drove him to and from his appt in Biddeford. This gave LD and I an opportunity to stop at Old Navy and Target for toddler supplies. He's in between 2T and 3T so I needed to get him some new pants and shirts to fill in for the rest of winter.

Time to switch the laundry and check on dad!

Ciao and Happy Knitting!
