Crochet Update & Contest I Found!

Wow, was I a bad girl, but it feels so good...Look at all my yummies...My Knit Picks order came in and man, could I go for a real Smores :) The purples are Rocky Mountain and the Blues are Yukon & then of course my Smores..lol Now I just have to get with the program and do this knitting thing! I did order more dpn's today from knitpicks so I'll be able to start real soon, but at least I got the yarn :)


Earlier this afternoon Mike asked if I wanted to go to Micheals....lol (you had to ask), well of course I wanted to go and I never turn it down when he wants to go..lol So after a hundred and some odd dollars later I came out with the SWS and lots more cotton,I need more dishcloth and these colors match my kitchen well , plus lots of extra's that I can't show....never know when swap pals may peek in and see..lol Wouldn't want to ruin the surprises.... The SWS I want to do another croceht B4Bag look alike and use black for the welts..in person the SWS looks black, not Navy like it says on label..lol

I also order from Knittingdream the Bar Harbor Shell Bag
and the Stain Glass Window Bag . I just love that bag (Stain Glass Window) and its inspired me even more to learn to knit, heck I just may try that first!


Also, we all love to do contest and there is a contest here so blog on over and enter, It ends July 25th so there is still time. I found it through Chan's blog.


I did do some crocheting this weekend. I crocheted The Market Bag for a good friend of mine. It was so so easy and fast too! I started it on Friday afternoon and only had to finish up the handle Saturday morning. I really was surprised that I didn't try this bag before. I will say it is BIG, measure 15" across the center bottom which is circular. Nice size for market or even make a great beach bag to throw things in or a project bag too. Here's a pic of the one I made. Came out great! I have started another one for myself too :)
Well I think I covered everything I wanted too...happy Crocheting/Knitting everyone! Hope its a great week ahead!!
