Jen's Bag again

I started the bag on the ferry from Anacortes to Sydney BC yesterday. Worked on it for maybe about 2 hours, then another 3 hours or so today; one at Gordon Mains' house and the rest on the ferry back from Sydney to Anacortes. I finished the cord for the bag this evening while watching football--it's all done!

It looks pretty good; I hope Jen likes it. I think I'll try to make another one in a different yarn for Sarah. I thought there might have been enough yarn for a second bag, but there definitely not. The materials list says 91 yards of chunky yarn. Next time I might make the cord longer than 36 inches for the larger size.

Anyhow, there's another Christmas gift done. Next???

Jen's Bag

Today after work I took the #15 bus down 1st Avenue to So Much Yarn and bought a set of bamboo size 10 double-pointed needles for $10.50. I would have like to buy 16 inch size 10 Addi Turbo needles, but since I'd already paid over $10 for bamboo needles in Gig Harbor over Thanksgiving weekend specifically for this project, I decided not to spend the extra $$ until there was a very good reason for it. Hope I like bamboo.

Today I sewed the shoulders together and knit the ribbing for both armholes.
