just so you know: i've been doing more than just squirreling away tomatoes, apples, squash & pumpkins
i've been taking stitches too
finally completed the knitting on this bag ... it needed a lining to protect the fibers from stretching ... i chose an Amy Butler home dec weight called, August Fields
i quilted the lining and added 4 pockets ... it has 3 inch gusset for extra roominess ... now the final steps are to add a closure ... sew the lining down along the top edge and add a decorative button on the flap
i really like the aqua and gold against the blue
i'm still obsessed with figures stitched on indigo -- i sketch on paper in my notebook ... when i've one i like
i stitch it with kantha running stitches on small pieces of japanese indigo that i've saved for a long while
this is a variegated Reynolds yarn called "smile" ... it's mostly wool with a tad bit of acrylic ... on size 10 needles it knits into a great fabric ... i'm loving it!
updates on this last project ..... later
