New Year, New Project

It is time for a new project!  I am finally done with the Miragamo bag...and I am happy to say that I love it and I am using it.

I will be knitting a sweater vest (pattern from Ravelry) for my Aunt Theresa (love her!).  The yarn came over the weekend, and I am so excited to start.  The blend is 70% silk and 30% cotton, and here is what it looks like.

I have already wound each hank into balls, so they are ready for knitting.  When I was winding I noticed that the yarn is super soft and has a nice sheen to it.  I will start next weekend, but first I need to finish the mittens for my little brother and sisters... 3 more hands to go!

Miragamo; finished

So, I finished the Miragamo bag over the New Years weekend.  I followed the instructions from Noni Designs on how to sew the lining for a rectangular bag.

Since sewing is still a bit new to me, I had a few set backs with threading the machine and troubleshooting the tension.  I had to go buy a seam ripper and a good pair of dressmaker shears to assist me in the process.

I used my Great Grandmothers' (mom's mom side) sewing machine. It was made by the Hilton Sewing Machine Co. from Cleavland Ohio.  It may be close to 40 years old, but it still works like new. 



Here it is sitting in the sewing table.









happy sewing...
