I stopped into my favorite LYS on my way home from work this evening to pick up a pair of size 6 circs and dpn's to make this hat.
I walked out with the needles, a copy of Debbie Bliss "Celtic Knits", because I'm feeling the celtic vibe lately, and a copy of The Happy Hooker. No, not THAT Happy Hooker, THIS Happy Hooker. Just glancing through the patterns in the book, I can tell you that it is unbelievably cool. Theres a couple of cute handbags and one sweater called "cupcake" that I will DEFINITELY be making for myself.
I walked out with the needles, the books, and this:
I was waiting in line while the owner was winding yarn for another customer and, well, I got to looking around. I'm planning on using it to make another felted purse for myself.
Since Blogger has gotten its anti-photo glitch worked out, heres the purses I finished last Sunday:
and heres the photo of my coworkers Carrie, Heather and I on St Patricks Day.
Yes, Carrie and I showed up in the same cheesy sweatshirt and Heather was "Seein' Dublin".

Those bags look so darling! I love that cheesy pic of you and your co-workers, you got some Irish spirit in ‘ya, noting wrong with that ;)
That yarn looks cool. And, on a not totally unrelated note, a friend will be teaching me to knit on Sunday, so look out for pictures of strange looking knit things on my blog as well. Apparently, starter needles and a starter ball of yarn has been bought in preparation, and there is talk of buying me some easy patterns, too, so let's hope I'm teachable!
