Progress!

So, knitty satchel, knit and felted. Wahoo! Now I'm waiting for the darn thing to dry. This part takes forever. But, I've started my next bits and pieces, a flower washcloth, that I'm thinking for stocking presents. I've also got to find some really bulky alpaca yarn for my sister's Christmas scarf. After Buddha's Enlightenment (Dec. 10!) and Christmas, I'll get to town on Rogue. New needles, and a kilo of yarn later, I'll have a lovely red cabled sweater. Hopefully it'll still be cold when it's done.

Today, I'm going to try and find someone to put a new ring on some silver charms, so I can make three more necklaces and mail them out by Christmas to all my cousins. The central pieces of the jewelry came from my grandmother's squash blossom necklace, which broke years ago, and which my grandfather asked me to make into something new. I'll post pictures when I get things done.
