All wrapped up
Posted by Lanea on Tuesday, November 6th, 2007
It’s official. My mind has emptied out everything except combining fabric scraps to make fun little bags with overlapping handles and interesting fabrics. This one is a commercial patchwork lined with a really lovely linen-cotton blend I used to clothe a few of my favorite Celts this summer. I previously used some of the outer fabric in a crochet-hook case I made for my dear friend Bevin and a vest I made for our Mongol-obsessed friend Udutai. Using scraps I associate with loved ones makes me downright giddy, I say. Woot.
For you detail-oriented folks, I made this bag 9" tall and 5 and 1/4" in diameter, because that’s plenty of room to hold one full skein of Trekking XXL, one completed kilt ho (Aes told me to call it that, and I’m trying to be obliging here, but it hurts my word-loving brain), needles, and notions. I’ll probably design a smaller one, for people who make normal socks. Not that I just accidentally started a business venture, because that would be crazy.
Coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee makes me move very fast. I’m going to vote, and then knit with some friends, and drink more coffee.

Glad you’re having fun sewing, btw. I’m… barely resisting the urge myself, honestly, and that’s only because I don’t have the personal fortitude to go dig my sewing machine out of the storage room in the basement. Or the backhoe. grin.

Did I tell you about the Thunder Bay Pipe and Drum Corps that comes to our local parade? In kilts?
