Thanks for the "welcome backs" -- felting is a great way to use up small amounts of yarn -- just be sure that you make a swatch first! (dontcha hate that!) I just finished a small pouch size bag using yarn from Lisa Souza Dyeworks and I'm starting on a new design for a bag that's more of a small tote out of some Lopi Letti I found on sale at the Beehive Yarn Shop in Victoria, BC. I also have a hooded scraf on the needles -- but that's slow going. It's out of a fine alpaca (little needles) and I seem to only work on it on road trips. My goal is to finish it by November! And I have lots of UF sweaters -- we won't go there! Is it politcally correct to tell you that you can see photos of my bags on my website at

I started selling my patterns after I my house was filling up with bags and some friends wanted to sell the patterns in their booths at Stitches. One thing led to another. And now I have even more bags filling the house because I make two samples for every design and then have test knitter make a sample...lots of Christmas presents.
Thanks again for the welcome. Holly
