I used Patons Classic Wool for the orange, and Elann's Highland Wool for the grey. I don't think I'll knit this bag again-- too many pieces! I still have to sew on the handles and the icord trimming. Grrr. I hate seaming!
Hat for Me
The hat is made out of a yarn from Elann-- it's the oxblood colorway, and is 50% llama, 50% wool. I love that quick hat from Last Minute Knitted Gifts-- there ares o many variations you can knit, and it only takes me about a day of casual, easy knitting.
SP3 Gift
I'm *think* I'm going to make a felted stocking out of the great Noro Kureyon my pal, Rosanne sent me. I think there's a pattern for it out of the Knitted Stockings book I just reserved at the library. The cookies from Japan have already been devoured-- they were so cute! There was also a handful of fun size candy bars that I shared with Jason, and are gone, too. And how did you know I needed a new address book. I love that one-- it's beautiful! I feel so spoiled, thank you sp3!
And, last but not least, here is a picture of our Christmas tree. It's kind of small, but we cut it down ourselves. :)
