Knitting Madness

I've been puttering with phone cozies lately, because they're quick and easy and fun...
and I can't find a one to take a picture of!
Instead, I'll provide a gallery of my latest bagsThis here's a Lucy Bag (^before felting & after felting, below) This pattern was actually recommended to me by a woman on the street in Kalona, IA, after she commented on a bag I'd made (a Booga Bag variation). I think I need to use a heavier weight yarn for this projectSince my mama was gracious enough to send a giant bag of wool yarn and Noah was gracious enough to have a January birthday, I got to whip out another Murse! (a total of 4 days)I used both colors of blue my mama sent & I love the matching button!
(My own pattern I made up as I went along - even made the strap attached ♥)With an added dose of some purple wool, I got to finish this beautyher straps are attached too, so they can thread through 'round back and be worn like a backpack. Though I like the knotted clutch strapAs soon as I've got a pile of dirty jeans, I'll get to finish this one!a combination of leftover solid purple and the lightweight variegated purples for some punch of color on the cream... It'll have wide cream straps of some sort, maybe a drawstring, too... with a square bottom I can block it tall and square or shorter with a rounded bottom... I can't wait to see how it turns out!

P.S. I seriously need a serious haircut! When I look at these pictures, all I can see is all my hair woven into the projects!! eeeeekk!

SOOO cute! I'm so jealous...I keep saying that my season is busy with kids, and I'll knit when they are older. When that is becomes another story! :-)
