Sisters! Are Doing It For Themselves...
Or, TWIN BDAY DEBAUCHERY...
Well, hello. We are recovering from much good times had by all in the celebration of not one, oh no, but TWO birthdays. We wish Carrieoke and her sis Cathy a happy one.
Here's some twin Karaoke, without which the night would have been totally incomplete:
A duet of "I've Had the Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing.
A Classic Indeed. Nobody puts Baby in a corner.
There are many more pics to show, but I am off for the weekend to see my sister in Tampa, Florida. Please send blue sky vibes. I fear the rain is imminent, however.
Carrie will have more pics on her blog soon, I'm sure. BE SURE to check in. That's all I'll say...
In the meantime, an unfortunately blurry pic of the French Market Bag:
This turned out SO WELL. You guys, the Rowan Cork felted beautifully, and the bag is very sturdy. A GREAT pattern.
Specs: Pattern from Knitty, US 9, Rowan Cork.
I used three skeins of the light purple and two skeins of the dark purple, but I had to knit 7 rounds instead of 9 after the increases ended on the bottom of the bag, or I would have run out of yarn...
Next verse, same as the first.
I started some swatches for another FMB for my friend Ivey, who loves the bright colors.
OW. Put on sunglasses.
Gotta fly.
Ok, kids, see you when I get back. Give the ones you love a squinch.

Cute pictures! Live the FMB...all felted goodness!

There's nothing more fun then sisters -- I've got 4 of them! I think we drove, and still drive, our father crazy with the "sillies". Great market bag, I would never have thought to use Cork. Might just head out to my LYS tomorrow and get some -- I'm feeling the felting fever.

Awww.... those pictures are SO CUTE! So is the bag--yet another project that I must start as soon as I finish this blasted baby blanket.

Looks like tons-o-fun. And I love the french market bag. I made one a while back, but mine felted almost too well - it's so small I can't really carry it like a bag. I just use it to hold various knitting tools now, so it's all good.

You didn't mention how you rocked the house with "gypsies, tramps and thieves". So I will. YOU ROCKED IT SISTA!

What a very cute photo of you & Carrie!
Even though it's blurry, French market looks great! I love the two tone.
Hope you are having fun in Tampa with lots of SUN! ;-)
