I am FINALLY done the 6 Red hat Society bags -- all I need to do is felt them! Ahhh, just like a weight has been hoisted from my shoulders. That was a lot of knitting, and a lot of red and purple yarn. I made 3 of them from Patons Classic Wool Merino, and the other 3 are from a locally produced wool that is a lot like Briggs and Little, but felts a bit better.
I've tried to make the bags in different patterns from each other, while still keeping the same basic square bag style. I think it would suck to go out to a function as a group and to have all 6 of the ladies with the exact same bags! My grandma and I had similar purses one Winter, and I commented on that once when I left her house. When I was an hour away from her place, and with only a half hour left to go before I got home, I was rummaging through my handbag for my cell phone, and discovered a green pepper (which was a little odd to find in my purse), and then 3 bottles of prescription drugs -- I had grabbed Nanny's purse when I left her place, not my bag ... and I was more than an hours drive from her with her car and house keys, wallet and all her prescription medications. I learned a thing or two that day about the importance of having one's own unique personal style, (and to frisk my purse for wayward veggies before hopping in the car!) -- so now that I have made a short story long (it's part of my charm!), I determined early on in making these purses that none would be the same.
Once I get this silly issue with the computer and my pictures straightened out, I will post pictures ... I can post an old picture though - Just so this is not so dull and colourless ...
How is this? Louie, our older kitty, about 3 years ago, when she was a spry and vigorous (not to mention, chubby) young lady of 12 or 13 years. She loves to play with helium balloons and carries them around the house by their ribbon.
