I finished knitting Sam's bag! Sam is my little sister's best friend, who I adore, and who is basically my other little sister. It's a slip-stitch pattern, so the fabric is kind of stiff and it needs to be stretched to it's final size and blocked into shape. I also need to line it, sew in some straps, and stick on some buttons to close the flap. I'll post all the yarn and pattern information when that's all said and done, so you can see it in it's full glory. In the meantime, here's a closeup to tide you over:
See? Lovely! Here's the (final, I hope) list of Christmas knitting that has yet to be done:- A pair of purple cabled armwarmers for my purple-loving bestest buddy who's currently exiled in Minnesota, and therefore in dire need of warmth.
- Another bag for Sam's sister Mandy, though I'm not exactly sure what it should be.
- A bright green cabled hat for my goofy boyfriend.
- Probably something for my other bestest buddy who's exiled in Indiana, but I'm still not sure what it will be.
- And, finally, a pair of socks for my other. Luckily, these won't be made until January when I'll let her pick out the yarn while I'm visiting her in New York. She'll be making me a pair of armwarmers in return (she is the armwarmer queen!).
