Had the urge to do some knitting, using a bag pattern. Knitted as per pattern two sides then decided to do one  on circular needles as well.




This is all still a work in progress, have mattress stitched one side of the bag, which was in two pieces.  The one above knitted on circular needle of course does not need seams.  I have cast of perhaps to looser than I need have done on both bags, but don't think this will matter as am going to do a trim and a lining.








A butterfly mind, started another knitting project!  This is a short sleeved jumper, a vintage pattern bought from ebay.  Using some wool bought a few years ago that had been reduced in price.  It is actually a very dark colour, a dark beetroot colour, difficult to knit with, but looks lighter in these pictures.




Wonder when I will finish these projects!  Want to do some more mini paintings as well.  Never enough hours in the day.   At least the weather here in England has warmed up a bit.
