    Great stash enhancement this week. Your finished bags are adorable, I know which one I want to win. Fingers crossed. I think you did a wonderful job on your hubby's socks. Men are so hard to knit for sometimes, they want everything so simple and unadorned which usually translates into boring for the knitter.

    The bags are all amazing! I wish I could sew better, but the finality of cutting fabric makes me nervous.

    Super jealous about Estes- my dad lives out there, but a visit isn't in the budget this year.

    oh the paisley fabric is so pretty! I joke that I have reverse SAD, I get so unhappy in the Summer, the sun is my mortal enemy. Of course I have good old fashion depression anyway so, I feel ya. *hugs*

    I love that you make up your own name for the yarn colors!
    I always copy and paste the pattern into Word and just print off the words so I don't waste ink on a picture. Sometimes I print the picture too. I guess it depends on how low our printer ink is. lol
    March 11th?! WOO that's my b-day! :D
    Another great podcast!

    Hugs!

    Nice job! I made some box bags, but they don't look nearly as professional as yours! Just good enough for me to stuff a project in! Yours look so fabulous! Great work!

    I love your bag's color combinations and fabric choices. Unfortunately my sewing skills have much to be desired so my attempts at making project bags failed.

    I really enjoy your show. I used to sew quite alot, but 2 years of learning to construct patterns and tailorfitting garments killed my sewingmojo... and that was 14 years ago...
