The VP Bag (very pink or purple - or this case both) is progressing slowly. Had trouble with the mistake rib as didn't seen to work from the instructions. Luckily the picture of the bag with the pattern was very clear and I figured it out from there.Have to have a pair of socks done in this stitch. The bag is a bit hard on the fingers and not fast being acrylic and done in needles .75 to 1mm less than recommended size. But a good stash buster and the fabric is really sturdy. Had planned two bags , but rethinking that. Hoping my 3 year old god daughter will like this one.
The online socks came to a halt at heel turning , have to sit down and figure out how many stitches to work in first short row. The bag became a priority having birthday deadline.
Think I have found some yarn for Twist & Shout (Knitty Fall 2008), my planned present to myself when I reach goal weight. There is some Cleckheaton Country 12ply on Ebay for $2.50 per ball , and it's purple, cause it just has to be purple:-). This would make it very affordable as well.
Still basically on one income , hubby has decided to go it alone with vehicle restoration , has about six months worth of work lined up. But things need to be bought to get the work done and income definitely won't be regular. But he is happier than he has been in a long time, and he's not a bad house husband, so I'm happier too.
