I've finished another semester (yippee!) and now I have to focus on the Christmas knitting. Last summer I decided I wanted to try some new knitting techniques and Wade said, "Why not make a Christmas present at the same time?". So, I choose to make the "Letter Her Have It" bag from Stich 'n Bitch Nation for Kate, my sister-in-law. This bag has many parts and unfortunately I started with the most fun part to knit. The chart was very easy to follow. I've been distracted by school and other knitting so the less fun parts have slowly come along. Now I only have one i-chord to knit, lots of seeming, and felting to do by the 23rd. I'm thankful she is coming here for Christmas so I don't have to get this done early enough to ship...but I bought yarn to make 2 scarves for Wade's grandfathers for Christmas so I have to do those and ship them in the mean time. The picture is my progress on the bag. I will let you know how my first felting project goes!

Have fun! I love felting and I can't wait to see the finished bag.
Beautiful bag, Sarah! (Be sure to take a picture of the finished product, before you give it away!)
Good luck with the Christmas knitting, too. I wasn't going to get sucked into that black hole this year, but here I am, furiously working at finishing several projects, right along with you. (There are, of course, worse things we could be doing!)
It's looking good Sarah! You are going to love felting.
