Boston Baked Bag

It was sizzling in Boston over the weekend. And a sizzling new bag has been added to my knitting bag collection.



It's not being sold as a knitting bag--but isn't it perfect? And, yes, that's actually some knitting peeking out from the top.

If you want to see another fabulous bag, check out what's come off the multi-talented Sonja's needles.

E is for

Embroidered tablecloths.

I have two embroidered tablecloths. I've used this sweet one for girly luncheons.



The other is quite dramatic and draped the New Year's Eve buffet table.





Both are beauties and I'm always amazed by the handwork that went into them.

As much as I admire embroidery, it's something I have no interest in doing myself. However, check out the multi-talented Sonja's embroidery project.

BRRRRRRR!

It's cold out there today! Temperatures in the low 20s with the wind chill pulling it down to the single digits. But nothing chases the chill away better than a snuggly shawl!



Is this gorgeous or what?! Many thanks to the multi-talented Sonja. The pattern is the Lilac Leaf Shawl Here's the link to the shawl on Sonja's Ravelry project page for the details.

I'll be meeting a friend (A knitter who I know will be oohing and ahhing!) for lunch this afternoon. First I'll wear the shawl wrapped around my neck and have the lacy ends peek out of my coat.



Then at the restaurant, I'll open the shawl up to all its beauty and wrap it around my shoulders. At this moment, I'm wearing the shawl over my nightgown--but, no, there won't be any picture of that!

I love this shawl!
