My finished felted bag with my trenchcoat

As promised, here are some pics with me and my trenchcoat and my made-to-match felted bag. I know the coat doesn't have any orange in it, but it just looked so great with the hot pink, it was clearly meant to be. I have received so many compliments on this bag that it is pretty overwhelming. That's one thing I love about knitting....the admiration of a finished project.

I was reading Lisa's blog today about the Gettin' Knit Together kit....what a great idea Miss Purl Needlemeyer had to create such a great tool for knitters. I have yarn bought and stashed it somewhere, I have needles everywhere....I definitely need a system to keep track of what materials I have on hand.

Today was a good knitting day. I made some good progress on Picovoli, and on a gift for a friend. It was such a great day outside too, I spent some time trying to transform my weed garden into a garden area ready for spring flowers. I love flower gardens, but I really hate weeding. Clearly, this is going to be a problem for me. And obviously, today I created my new blog. I spent most of the day playing with the template, adding in my links, changing the colours, getting everything just right. I love it.
