So I had purchased this lovely purple yarn on a trip to the knitting store and it's been sitting in my stash for months till I finally looked at the maker of the yarn and searched their site for an appropriate pattern. Considering my theme lately has been gifts I thought that the purse was the way to go and I started it. I haven't gotten very far into it yet but it's moving along and it's wonderfully thick using two strands and the cable pops beautifully. I'm going to find some nice fabric to line this in and hope I can eventually give it away. I am not looking forward to the gusset/strap though which may go fast but is going to be mind numbingly boring I'm sure.
This is a crochet shawl I'm working on that I found on about.com I wanted a doily inspired piece but not lace and I had this caron simply soft that I thought would go beautifully with this design. It's barely a third of the way through and I can't wait to get to the pineapple part of the design.
