Ravelympics

Okay, so explain to me why sometimes my pics load without blinking and other times they don't. I have been trying to upload this pic for two weeks.

Anyway, for Ravelympics, I finished two projects. One for the Felted Freestyle (the felted bowl in Knitpicks Memories) and for the Bag-n-Tote Backstroke, I finished the Clutch You Won't Give up in Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in deep red.

Of course, now I can't get the pic of the bowl uploaded . . . bah humbug. Anyway, the Ravelympics was great fun. It forced me to really focus and finish two projects that I wanted to get done. I think both of them would be great projects to make for Christmas presents as they are quick knits, look great and, since I love all things felted, would lend themselves well to hiding my errors . . . oops, I mean, well, you know.

The other thing is that it would be a great way to tuck gift cards or candies or treats in either one. I do think, if I would make the clutch for me, I would have to figure out how to include a pocket on the inside without having to line the bag.
