Saturday Sky in Sunny Sydney

Long time no see Saturday Sky.

Gorgeous Saturday, but it's gone grey again today. Watch out for next weeks sky, brought to you from another city!

I bought myself a present this week. Jejune, another Australian knitblogger, has opened a Cafepress store called Knitting Art. She paints gorgeous pictures of knitting, and has had them put onto tshirts, mugs, coasters, notebooks, all kinds of wonderful things.

So I got myself a new knitting bag!

The design I got is called "The Pink Shawl". I was pretty impressed when it showed up, I was expecting just a calico bag, but it's a nice heavy canvas, and it's a good size. Here's the zigzag scarf inside it.

Plenty of room! It has nice long straps too, so it goes over your shoulder easily.

Speaking of the zigzag scarf, I finished it yesterday. Here it is in it's unblocked state.

I've since blocked it, pictures later.

I had a ball and a bit left over of the darker pink, and seeing as Em keeps trying to run off with my Jo Sharp beret, I've cast one on for her.

I should be able to finish it before Thursday - just four days to go!!

What a great bag! I'm very tempted to get myself one too. And one would be perfect for my secret santa exchange at snb. Hmmm...

I bet the next 4 days just fly by!

Love the scarf & the colors are so lovely. The matching beret will add the finishing touch to Em's winter outfit.
