I finished my loomed bookmark for the exchange at Lynn Markman's Yahoo Group. It was a lot of fun. I loomed an illusion pattern I charted myself and actually got it to turn out. YEA for ME!!! Here is how it turned out.

Looks like I'm going to have a busy end of summer. I have entered a loomed bookmark exchange which I hope to post progress on it soon. Deadline to mail is Aug. 25, so it doesn't leave me much time. I am also participating in a Mystery Sock KAL and will be knitting on dpn's "Leaves of Grass" Anklet by Marilyn Roberts. Again I will try and post progress on the sock...I am going to have to break down and by a EFG sock knitter and start catching that sock bug ;).
I also have almost finished my turtleneck sleevless shell by Knitting Pure & Simple (212). I have modified it a little by making it a mock. I knitted it on needles with Cascade PimaTencel in black...talk about soft cotton....mmmmm. I will try and get a picture of it after it is finished.
Until later....keep on knitting/looming!!
Well it's finally finished. My "In the Sculptured Garden" Noni bag is finally done! I think I am addicted to her patterns...super simple and easy to make on large needles. Here is what it looked like before felting.
In pieces at left...it called for a vine (i-cord) and three flowers, but I just wanted them on one side so I did only two and 5 leaves, but only did 3. I also didn't like the way the flowers felted, so I added some crystal A/B beads to added a little sparkle and cover up the holes
Here is what it looks like when it is felted and lined:
I think I will try one of her smaller bags. Thanks Isela for hosting this KAL...it was fun! I hope to enter this into our County Fair next year as I didn't get it done for this years.
| You Have a Phlegmatic Temperament |
 Mild mannered and laid back, you take life at a slow pace. You are very consistent - both in emotions and actions. You tend to absorb set backs easily. You are cool and collected. It is difficult to offend you. You can remain composed and unemotional. You are a great friend and lover. You don't demand much of others. While you are quiet, you have a subtle wit that your friends know well. At your worst, you are lazy and unwilling to work at anything. You often get stuck in a rut, without aspirations or dreams. You can get too dependent on others, setting yourself up for abandonment. |
