Now the pics. This is actually a glass pendant bead I'm using for the button on my tony bag.

And here's the finished bag:

I also finished weaving in the ends off my stole and doing the single crochet border. Now it just needs blocking.

It came out a bit wider than I anticipated, so I'm a little nervous about it turning into a blanket when blocked.
I am a native Californian, and so far have never been colder than about 25 F. Stories like this make me want to keep it that way! =P
ReplyDeleteAlso, your stole came out beautifully! Awesome yarn choice- the colors are neat. I really need to try a dropped stitch something at some point this year.
The button is perfect, very striking! Shawl is beautiful too. Sorry about the ice. Hope the ice melts and doesn't refreeze over night.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately living in KS I know all about ice! It sucks. One ice storm the neighbors tree fell on our power line to our house and took out our electricity for 10 days! Not fun... Be careful.
ReplyDeleteThe button is very cute and matches awesomely! I've tried a little of that dropped stitch pattern on a scarve. I really like the way yours looks.
Thank you for your thoughts concerning my mom. I really appreciate it :)
What a lot you've been through while I was out of town! Sorry about the glasses thing... sooo frustrating. And ice?! :shudder: I don't deal with it often, living in Austin, but I do know what you mean! Not worth the risk, really. I hope you're not stranded for long. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThe button is a great touch; what a striking FO, really. :) And blanket or stole, it is beautiful and will be perfectly warm. Enjoy it!
