Two Christmases ago, my little sister gave me a lovely hand-knit bag. It was from a pattern in "Stitch-n-Bitch - The Knitter's Handbook". I loved it so much, I decided to make one for my (future) sister-in-law for Christmas this year. It was really easy, just a simple garter stitch knit in the round. So easy in fact, that I cast on yesterday, and bound off today! And I loved loved loved the yarn, so it was pretty fun too (which is always a good thing). I still have to put it together (i.e, put on handles, and a lining), and today I found an online shop that sells Japanese silk remnants. I got a whole load of beautiful silk fabrics for so little money (but now, of course, I am going to be knitting Chinese Charm Bags for like the next 9 years)....

Your knitting looks great, Kristen. And driving too! Gosh, you are growing up. Now that you can actually drive on the other side of the road, I think I will be nervous to let you take my car here in CA! I still have bad dreams of the trip to Gram's funeral!! See you soon. Love, Mom
