it's the little things
Tuesday, October 16, 2007Sometimes it is all about the little things.
A little hat that I was commissioned to make. From the book knittng for peace.
A little snack bag for Libby. Blair made one over at wise craft. I knew it was right up Libby's alley. I used a Martha Stewart dish towel to make the bag, had Libby write "snack" on a piece of paper, pinned the paper to the fabric, and embroidered over her writing. It is now her most favorite thing that I have ever made her! EVER! 
And, a little pile of loose ends from the vest. Hopefully, a little photo shoot today after school.Remember, enjoy the little things.

What a great environmentally thoughtful bag. What brand of waxed paper do you use? Totally ingenious. I fell in love with that hat one of the last times you knit it. It knits flat then pulls into a hat form right? You always impress me.
