I went to the Knitting Expo today held by Stitches Magazine at the Schaumburg Convention Center with my friend Mary. I consider myself a fairly new knitter and have fallen in love with knitting. I knit and then felt (which is just washing the item in hot water to shrink) purses with 100% wool yarn. I have started to mix in other texture yarns to give the bags a whole other look. My signature look to the bags is with a broach and purse handles from recycled purses. I love the look it gives to the bags. I got a few new ideas for my bags today, but, was disappointed that I didn't buy very much yarn. I did find a nice forest green yarn for $2.00 a skein which is a good deal. I sell my bags on: pathtojunkentreasure.etsy.com.
I found this great table at a garage sale last year for $10.00 and use it to store yarn that I will be using in the near future. I had to wait for someone else to put it back before I could snatch it. I followed the person around the sale for a few minutes. I love it!
