Bags are good, bags are fun!

Made 2 bags this weekend. Will post pics later today sometime. Using Patons marino in stripes I did a square style bag that I am going to put some fun handles on. The other bag I used a pattern off of magknits.com and used cascade 220 in a red/pink/orange mix. Love them!

This weekend was productive for knitting & organizing. I am trying to do swatch samples of all my yarns so that I can just open a book & see what yarn I have in each guage. So far it’s been pretty useful. I hope to do more in the next couple of days.

Oh! Oh! Off of the knitting topic… about a year ago my mom gave me a set of clear glass dishes from the 70’s. They have a type of starburst ridged pattern on the bottom side of them. So I thought they were fun but then I had the great idea to get some glass paint & paint the under side of them in radiated colors ( I will post pictures so you can actually see what I am talking about not just guess ;o)) LOVE THEM!!! And since the plates were free it’s no trouble to pay for the glass paint $5 a bottle! Yay! So fun!
