Word has it that there will be snow showers tonight. . . I might get my wish afterall: a cold, dark January. While I've been waiting for impending snow, I thought I'd share a few recently finished projects. Nothing very complicated, just a few attempts at using up some of my yarn stash. Both projects used patterns printed in "101 Designer One Skein Wonders", a great little book that aids those of us having a tad bit of guilt over the size and expanse of our stash.
Above is a quick knit hat which consumed one stray skein of Noro leftover from a Booga bag I made at the start of my knitting "career".
The bag below will be a gift for my dear niece, Princess S. A pretty pink cabled purse to call her own. I used up a skein of Cascade on this one and it felted so very well.
Details, if you want them, are in the Finished Objects section.
