Yesterday I went to my LYS to pick up a 40" circular needle. My guild is teaching the magic loop Tuesday night and I didn't have anything that long in my needle collection. Although now that I think of it, I could have made a needle that long with my Denise set but for some reason that didn't occur to me. I planned on being in and out of there is under 5 minutes and I was NOT buying any yarn. I even went so far as to tell dh the very same thing. That was my first mistake. I tried, really I did. But these skeins of Kureyon kept following me around the store taunting me. They were relentless and I was weak, so they came home with me. They want to be a felted bag. I tried to get them in the house on the sly seeing as I told dh before I left that I really was not buying any yarn. But there he was standing right in front of the garage when I drove up. Just my luck! I thought of pushing the bag under the seat but didn't think of that in time and he would have seen me. So I just got out of my car and strolled by him ever so nonchalantly with my little bag that bulged a bit more than it would have with just a needle in it. DH said "I thought you weren't buying any yarn" and I said " I couldn't help it, it was on sale".... and he just laughed and shook his head.
Isn't it pretty?

It is color #52. I don't know what bag pattern I am going to use yet. I want to make it to replace my canvas small project bag which is starting to fall apart so I am going to aim for the size of that and see what I can come up with.
Hope everyone had an awesome weekend. Mine was very busy!
Happy knitting!

Have you seen the booga bag? -- it's on a blog (free pattern) & done in a Noro yarn. Not sure it's big enough for a project bag however. Janet Scanlan's weekend tote is really great - google her name & I'm sure her website will come up (she's in Oregon).
