Craptina: Shipping Off in Style

Last week Prink and I made these........

With inspiration from Jess we made a whole shebang of these cute bags. However, Prink is such a super sewer, we didn't look at the tutorial except to oogle over her cute prints. Definitely a good guide, if you're interested in making one of these guys yourself.

Next week this gal and some friends are off on a big vacation, so projects bags were required. Marie , Big A, Joe and I are of to Morocco! We'll be there for 11 days to experience some culture, weird food, and some possible desert camping. Jess has been a big help with guidence and advice since she was there just a few months ago. Check out her picture gallery, it's pretty cool.

I've got some jaywalkers on the needles for trip, and that should hold me for awhile. In other knitting news, I've cast on for Glee and I'm in Stockinette Hell. I'm currently up to 324 sts, and I'm increasing every RS row until there are 384. (!@$!@#^) Then I can get psyched to work in the eternal round of never ending stitches. Ugh. This project is going to take awhile, but the end results look worth it. Check out how cute Carrie looks....

Oh, and I finished the front side of the Pink Tea Raglan. No photo to share for a blob of pink seed stitch. I fear that the projects I have chosen are much too repetitve. Something should be done about that. Casting on for the Dollar and a Half cardigan is a must upon returning from vacation.

So I'll leave you with these photos before my departure, since I love my cats so much and they crack me up all the time.

I swear there was water in the water dish...but I bet this was more tasty.....
