Bea's Bag

Yes another bag, but this time for Bea's Birthday.

The wool is Rowan Country and the pattern is also by Rowan.



Ran out of wool to do the handles, but D managed to get these for me. They attach through the wool, then you can remove them for washing.



Lined the bag with fabric from Mandors. Really nice shop, I will be going back there I think! This time I handstitched the lining rather than using the sewing machine. It doesn't look too bad and the seems were fairly strong so hopefully it holds ok.

Finished HP 7.... was tearful towards the end, partially the story and partially knowing it was the last one. Definitely need to re-read, but when I have a bit more time. Overall I thought it was very good. What will JK do now??

Finally got it....

What fun we thought, going to the HP Launch in our house hats.... 3am we finally got the books. Should have gone to Asda you say, but after you stand in a queue so long you start to get determined to stay....

Some great costumes though and glad I had my hat, it was starting to get a bit cold after standing around for so long.

The 3 of us have been cuddled up on the couch reading (Yes, Dylan has been on the couch too :-)) and avoiding any reviews and the TV all weekend...

Knitted camo bag for cache... will need to make more of these, work really well.


Sock in progress.... has been in progress for about a month now!

Hmmm

Ok, so I haven't posted since my birthday... something to do with a certain MSc I think. Still it is paying off and going well.
Anyway, on my Birthday we went to the safari park... here are some of my fav pictures




And yes I have been knitting.... let me find those pics
