Because you can never have too many projects OTN...

I went to MassAveKnits tonight to pick up the scarf pattern, and I went to Greenwood to the Goodwill before I went home. I picked up a really cute kelly green wool Old Navy Sweater (that I started picking apart in the bar at Olive Garden while waiting on my carry-out). Before I left Goodwill, I strolled through the back "crazy aisles" just to glance around and if there wasn't a skein of yarn lol. Ok, nothing spectacular, just some acrylic - nooooooo it was WOOL! And upon further inspection there were three skeins. It's REALLY old and they are three different dye lots of the same color, but I bought them anyway, because I could hahaha. The yarn is a dark burgandy color, kind of like wine. Long story short, when I got home, I looked up a felted bag pattern that I'd been eyeing and cast on my 4th WIP this week!! LOL Can you say Knitting ADD??

Future Project Idea
Pattern
: Felted Purse
Yarn: Any 100% wool (not superwash)
Needles: US10 circs, and dpns

I also picked up some Cash Vero Yarn while I was at MassAve since they didn't carry Debbie Bliss Cashmerino, Susan (the owner) said this was a good substitute. So........... I will be adding another pair of Fetching to the list this week, too.

Let's see, that means I have the following OTN:
a. Syd's sweater
b. Skull illusion scarf
c. Trey's socks
d. Felted Purse frogged due to wrong circ length

and e. Fetching waiting patiently to be CO. LOL Wow, I have a lot to do this week!!

Fetching (aka fingerless gloves)

DISCLAIMER: This was actually made and photographed by yours truly.

I decided to take a short weekend break from the fuzzy sweater (so I don't get burnt out) and made some fingerless gloves. Well, one anyway. I'm not thrilled with the fit, so I am not sure I will make a 2nd one and waste the yarn.

Finished Object
Pattern:
Fetching
Yarn: Lion Brand Wool-Ease, Pink Heather
Needles: Brittany birch DPNs Sz6
