Now Back To Me ....

me me me me me. that is what a blog is, isn't it. the ultimate in "me" promotion. so rather than pretend i'm not being self-centered, i might as well embrace the fact that this blog is all about me.

anyway, some short notes about my trip to LA. this was the view from my hotel room
not bad you say? this is what i could have had ...

oh well ... i did have a celibrity sighting. i saw Amy Madigan at the airport. sure she's no J. Lo. but hey, the woman goes through security like the rest of us poor slobs. she had a NARAL button on, so my guess she may have been on her way to DC. yeah her!

now to the fun stuff. here's what i've been working on. from the Spring Interweave Knits, i'm trying my hand at the Tri-Pocket Tote

but because i like to live on the edge, i'm using Homespun instead which gives me the same gauge, and going with stripes. so far it looks like this...

i need to put the thing together. the fabric is most likely less rigid than the designer intended so i'm thinking of making it into some sort of shoulder tote and crocheting the straps. we'll see how it goes.

Julie took the words out of my mouth. Too bad I can't get Interweave Knits in Germany (without paying an assload in postage.) I'm anxiously awaiting the unvailing of the bag as well.

Love your stripey bag. Can't wait to see it finished.
