State of the projects
State of the projects:
Booga Bag: done except for a third of the icord bindoff (this afternoon's project) and six feet of icord for handles. And except for the felting, of course. Part of me is sorely tempted to go to Goodwill and find a purse with handles I can salvage so that I can skip the icord step, but I have the yarn for it so I feel as though I should use it.
Multidirectional scarf: approximately two rows further along than it was last week, mainly due to my forgetting to bring it to work. Oops. It's getting chilly enough that I probably should make an effort to get it and a hat done in the next couple weeks.

I placed an order with Knitpicks late last week, and it arrived yesterday. No yarn, just some assorted supplies that I've been wanting - circs in sock yarn sizes, locking stitch markers, 60" cables for my Options needles, some extra 24" cables, and some sock blocker keychains. Those are going to end up in presents this Christmas, although I haven't yet decided if I want to knit them up myself or send them as-is to crafty friends.
The only thing I forgot to put in the order was, naturally, the one thing I needed immediately - 6.5mm dpns to do the icord handles for my bag. Cue one trip to the yarn store this afternoon, thus proving that no matter how great online retailers are, a good local store is a blessing.

Actually, now that I look at them carefully, I think what would be really cute would be to replce the keychain bit with an ornament hook and knit little tiny christmas stockings to go on them.
