Here is an in-progress photo to show you the colours.

I made this DB Aran Tweed bag with some yarn left over from my cardi. I used 6 balls and could have used less because although I'd swatched, the finished bag didn't felt as much as I'd expected so it is quite a bit bigger than I wanted. It'll still be useful though and it looks good with that pinky Boden dress that I've still not worn. It was funny because the wool actually felted very nicely - no stitch definition left etc but it just didn't shrink as much as I'd expected. Strange. But then I know felting is a fairly inexact science.

Knitting Obsession
Have you seen this little video clip from YouTube? It's called "The Last Knit". Kate sent it me....I guess that's what she thinks of me...but it's not true - I'm not that obsessional - and anyway I don't have long hair.

Another lovely ab fab throw. I must make one soon. I like the felted bag too.
