Yeah, I'm still doing bags!

 

With the holidays coming, I am in high gear making shopping bags! This is just a sample of what is available.

Hot pads for Bella and Simone

I have cats. Two in fact. But my son Dane has dogs.

For his birthday, I made him some hot pads showing off his puppers (his word, not mine) named Bella and Simone. We get to dog-sit whenever he goes away, and also when he comes to visit us overnight. He lives about 2 hours away so we often get our dog-fix.

This is Bella (the other one is Dane). She's a German Shepherd/Husky mix. She has the most beautiful ice blue eyes. She is very sweet and always willing to play. She will bring you a ball so you can play with her. I don't think she ever get tired.

 

The hot pads are made using double-knitting using cotton yarn. The pattern is from Nifty Knitter Designs available through Ravelry.

This is Simone. She is a chihuahua/dachshund mix. And since dachshunds are also know as Weiner dogs, they are often called Chi-weenies. She is very affectionate and is not a "yappy" dog. If you sit down, she will be in your lap within one second!

They are just too cute for words!

Not everyone is a fan. Wookie and Omi have to stay upstairs during the dog visits.

Still Doing Bags

 I haven't posted anything for awhile because I have been just knitting bags. Bags and bags and bags. I can't believe how well they are selling. Here are some of the bags I have completed lately.

Now I have to get back to my needles and bags.
