First of all, the WEDDING!

Wendy is officially a married woman.  She and her shawl enjoyed a beautiful day on Saturday.  Here they are:

My parents arrived for babysitting duties and a weekend visit, and my mom brought me some new stuff, Patons Soy Wool Stripes.  Perfect for a new fall bag.  (Mine is in the Natural Earth colourway.)

Great news for felted bag maniacs:  it has the colour depth of Noro Kureyon with the felting tendency of Patons Classic!  Mine, in a single cycle in a front-loading washer, came out thick, dense and fully felted.  I also added a new dimension to my knitting:  the hammer!  The grommets came from Michael's, and I added the fittings by poking the holes with a needle (as for the famously fabulous Booga Bag), then opening them up slightly with a snip of the scissors, pushing the washer through and pounding the backing onto it.  That was repeated for all eight holes, and voila!

I will use this stuff over and over, especially in my favourite vertical stripes!

Those colors are TO DIE!!!

I have the grommet punch thing but need to get more small grommets (it only works w/ the small one).
