This rag bag tote is adorable with a long strap for carrying and inside pockets for special treasures. It's supposed to take four hours from start to finish but as with most sewing projects, the cutting out is most time consuming. The actual sewing took me about an hour. 
What goes inside?? Yarn projects, of course!! The wool blend is Jeff's latest pair of socks.
Since sewing requires room, I went to the store classroom to sew the 9-Patch Rag Bag sample for Friday's class. It is adorable and in the dryer right now. I'll post pics soon.
Thank you, Kristine!! I LOVE my new sweater!
I am soooooo thankful for the gift of needlework. Knitting comes so easily for me and it's not my doing. It is a true gift and I thank YOU! I finished knitting the hood last night while Jeff and I watched a silly movie called Couples Retreat. This morning I bound off using the three needle bind off. Now to weave in any loose ends and to work around the buttonholes. I might single crochet along the front button band too. I'll decide after seeing how nicely the front hangs.
My walk this morning allowed me to fully appreciate God's gift of weather. The snow was wet and gentle and so quiet. Little feet prints from elementary school kids were all along the sidewalk from their short jaunt to classes. Birds have hidden and are not in their birdhouse but the snow is predicted to cease and sun should appear before noon.
Sooooooooooo pretty!! Such a fun surprise! There was also some ice under the snow on the sidewalk so a bit treacherous when we took the trash to the curb this morning.
He requested a scarf last night, and I already had one for him on my needles. His scarf is moved into the priority #1 slot!
Earlier in the afternoon, there were very strong winds, enough to close down I-70 due to poor visibility, and snow mixed with rain. The flakes were huge and wet so had difficulty sticking but were enough to make the roads and everything else very wet. We walked in early evening in the cold and wet and admired the Christmas lights at Southglenn. Everything is slowly being pointed towards Christmas. WAIT! We haven't celebrated Thanksgiving yet!!
We went into the candy store for treats and also to warm up a bit. Hubby said he really needed a scarf; the cold wind was blowing down his jacket at the neck!
