First FO Of The Year

Here we have a beach bag knit up for K1C2 out of their Second Time Cotton~ a favorite cotton yarn. I am not sure I did it right but then I am not a bag knitter generally speaking. I have knit itsy bitsy beaded silk bags before but this is an entirely different breed of bag. The picture does not do it justice. Anyway its way late since Helene was out of town when I had a Q so that slowed me down a week and then I really have not felt much like knitting it. I hope its correctly done cause I am so not wanting to fuss over it any more.

The WIP that has seduced me is Stonington Shawl. I wonder if it qualifies as my Shetland Shawl along project. It is EZ’s take on the Shetland shawl construction so I guess so. Yipieeeee one knitalong almost complete. Not really. I am starting the 4th trapezoid border section and then the edging. Have you ever noticed that the edging of any shawl takes an absurdly long time to knit? I always get to the edging portion and then think I will have gobs of yarn left over and a short time left in the knitting. Not that I am in any hurry but I am always surprised.

OK enough inane late night babbling. Have a great yarny day and knitterly evening :^>
