Dear Person-Who-Lost-Your-Grocery-Store-Stuff- Sack-Purse. I found it. It took my fancy and I am using it. I feel badly for you. I am sorry if you are looking for it. I wanted to do a post on Facebook: I have taken to stealing. Because it is true.
And I continue to move labels around and misrepresent items in my possession.
Who doesn’t need a Knitters Ruck Sack? This bag will be a regular ‘wear’ over our jaunt to Seattle. It has two neat coils of Malabrigo sock yarn in aguas color. I am making Boardwalk.
At which time, I want to knit this. I need both sweaters and this one will need to be made out of Jared’s line. I tried both sweaters on while visiting Purl in Soho. I need both!
I am determined to have this sweater complete and worn in one months time. OK? Do you hear me? I am verbalizing a commitment to self, publicly. I want that sweater. I would love to fall in love with a ‘look’ and to create a few choices pieces to flesh out that look. I am a textile artist. I print cloth, I have a great stash, it is time to start making things! Fixing and updating vintage blouses? Yup, got that too. I am hoping this sweater will look cute over printed button up shirts (like this one, oh my! That one needs some green to tame it!).
I am on a mission to dress creatively!
My Man and I are off to a much needed vacation! Seattle here we come.

Klepto Melly? LOL! Your knitting bag and sew-plies bags are beautiful!!! I like both patterns. They both will look great on you. I can see me wearing the Boardwalk sweater. I really like the lines on the other one, but not for my shape. I would love to wear something besides jeans and Henley’s. Perhaps that will be my winter project, a new wardrobe. xoxo
