WIP Friday and Booking Through Thursday

I finished the Christmas Rose Bag from Handknit Holidays. I did it in lilac and hyacinth Palette yarn from KnitPicks. I only did one repeat of the pattern because I needed a small gift bag for a small gift :) I'm using ribbon for the ties because, frankly, I didn't feel like doing the i-cord. It was fun to knit and great practice for two color knitting. I think this would be a great bag to do in Lamb's Pride Bulky--it would be pretty large.

I started my Jaywalker socks, but I'm a little nervous considering all the problems people have been having with size. I'm a tight sock knitter anyway--I can usually get 10 stitches per inch without trying too hard, so with that in mind I'm knitting this with the help of: size two needles, the largest size cast on, and a bottle of Captain Morgan's(to be mixed with diet Coke or diet Pepsi, of course)--the Captain will help me relax so that I'm not hitting the 10 stitches/inch mark; at least that's what I'm telling myself :)

Happy Weekend,
aloha :)

Booking Through Thursday

Jeanne thought that it might be nice to have something a little simpler for a change, and I have to agree. Thanks for your suggestions, Jeanne!

1. What's on your book/reading wish list? It's not a book; it's the complete Lord of the Rings on CD and also in a perfect world I'd like the complete Harry Potter for my iPod--my wishlist consists mostly of books on CD right now so that I can knit and "read" at the same time.


2. What books are you giving this year? For the first year ever, I think, I'm not giving anyone books. Well, that's not entirely true, I'm sending my mother a bunch of books, but they are not presents she just wants to borrow them for something to read.
