What is on your needles today?

Swift, Ball Winder & Sock Book

Jimmy won two auctions on EBay last week: Ball Winder and Swift. I also received this sock book today. I am going to be making custom socks for my husband. Due to a medical condition one of his legs is larger than the other so finding socks that fit him is a challenge.

Ravelry - getting closer

Ravelry Update. I just might get my invite before my birthday at the end of October! :-)

Pignoli bag & George the Giraffe

Jimmy and I went out for a bite to eat tonight and there was a gentleman making balloon creatures. Also here are the final pictures of the finished Pignoli bag. I bought some extra leather cord to reinforce the strap since I tend to over stuff my bags.

Pignoli bag - finished

Bag finished in 9 days from start to finish. The trim I ordered for the bag didn't work out so well. The leather cord was not a complimentary color and the bone embellishments didn't work out. So I went to a local shop and found a complimentary leather cord and I am in search of some new embellishments. Above is a picture of the bag put together before felting. I will put up some felted pics soon.

Cobblestone Pullover for Jimmy

Check out the Fall 2007 issue of Interweave Knits http://www.interweaveknits.com/. I am going to knit the Cobblestone Pullover by Jared Flood for Jimmy. He isn't a big fan of wool so I ordered a cotton blend:
