I finally get to show you a couple of bags I made. These two were sent down to Texas. I thought these were perfect for living by the gulf, to be able to cram all their beach stuff in them. And right when I was about finished with the second one my embroidery machine locked up on me, NOT GOOD. So, that is in for repair.
But, in the mean time I knitted myself a vest for the fall. Yes, I have a turtle neck shirt on under the wool vest, and yes the temps were probably in the mid 80's, and no I won't show you my red face from the heat. Luckily the shot came out okay for me to call it good so I could get the heck out of these warm clothes.
I hope to get visiting you all today, it's just been busy with our weekend project going on here that is almost finished.
You all have a wonderful day!
i bet lots of folks in the midwest and east are looking forward to fall this year! and i bet your girls will love those bags, too.

These would make great Farmer's market bags too.

Those patchwork bags could be prettier.. they will be the envy of the beach.
As is your woolly vest sweater. You'll be right comfy come winter, Judy.

Oh, the things we do for our blog! The bags are gorgeous and your vest reminds me of the yarn my mom used to knit us slippers way back in the day!

I cannot imagine putting a turtle neck on in the hot weather! What we'll do for our blogs is often amazing!
I LOVE those bags!
