Knitting v. Everything Part II

It's less then three weeks before graduation and things are piling up. Papers, projects and presentations galore as well as trying to find an apartment/a car/a job, etc... Let's just say that life is a little hectic right now.

hectic, but still full of all things knitted. Mother's day and my mom's birthday are fast approaching, so I whipped something up for her. This bag may look somewhat similar to the fiery orange one I made back in February -- and that's because it is the same. At least it's the same so far.


I'm going to be making some changes to the strap configuration...making it adjustable rather than a fixed length. Actually, 'fixed length' isn't really true, because it lengthens after a period of time of carrying around heavy things. Anyway, the point is, that my mom's bag will have an adjustable strap. I still have to go buy the little parts to finish that bit up, but other than that, the present it complete.

The second birthday that is coming up is my other sister. She's turning 16 on the day I graduate, so I guess a birthday present is in order, eh? Anyway, here's what I'm making:


Can't really tell what it is yet, right? Well, it's gonna be a pillow. Yeah. A bit strange I know, but it actually looks and feels really cool. It's the loopy pattern from S&B Nation. I know the pictures are a little blurry and dark, but as soon as it's done, it'll be easier to photograph.

...stay tuned.
