momma's got a brand new bag I ran into Amy at the playground yesterday! She spied me starting a new project. Someone needs a Sophie bag. I saw Carolyn's recently finished and totally fabulous Sophie bag and when I realized that it only took one skein of yarn, I thought, hey, I have one skein of yarn!
Just call me the bag lady, 'cause I got another gift from my secret pal - a cute little tote bag (from Target, I think - gotta love Target!). It's striped and blue (my two favorite things) and is perfect for bringing my knitting to the playground. Thanks secret pal!
Bag lady (that's me) to knitalongers old and new (that's you, banffers, pant-alongers, spring flingers, and linen drapers): hey, how's it going?? I fell behind in my blog-surfing while the in-laws were here, so please let me know about exciting progress updates and/or finished projects. I can't wait to see what you've all been up to! posted by alison at 7:32 am | in

*cough* We could have a "bag-along" *cough* - I'm halfway through a Booga Bag that will be a gift for a friend of mine visiting in a week and a half. And I'm feeling springy enough that I might have to jump back in the spring fling with a little tank :) Posted by: Donna at May 20, 2004 7:46 AMMy Spring Fling has been flung but I await wedding photos to show me showing off the finished garment...stay tuned! Posted by: Marg at May 20, 2004 8:55 AMmy no-sweat pants have been looong neglected and i'm afraid i don't see progress happening anytime soon! we're trying not to run the AC in my new apartment (not an easy task in NC!) and knitting sweatpants when it's humid and 85° INSIDE doesn't sound like fun! Posted by: vanessa at May 20, 2004 9:26 AMHello, I have finished my vintage knit/linen drape-along ribbed top and it is on my blog for you to see. It was an enjoyable knit and the linen drape lives up to its name. Posted by: Anne at May 20, 2004 11:51 AMYay Anne! Alison - guess who finally swatched for her LD...? LOL... Posted by: Eklectika at May 20, 2004 11:57 AMHey Alison... My spring fling will be blocking this weekend...I am finishing up straps tonight on my pink cottonfleece chickami. :) H Posted by: Heather at May 20, 2004 12:47 PMHi Alison! For some reason, the line "I have one skein of yarn" has got me rolling on the floor. One. Hahahahaha!! Am trying hard to make Knitsmiths with my 20 years of left-over yarn.... Posted by: claudia at May 20, 2004 3:04 PMAlison, I keep swatching my linen D and can't come up with anything - Mason Dixon Ann has me thinking macrame - and I love the projects in E Knight's Simple Crochet - so maybe I'm close to picking a project! (still owe you a pants pic!) Posted by: Annhb at May 20, 2004 4:40 PMBag-A-Long? I've been having one all by myself, so sign me up. I'm on my second Sophie bag, and Kemp is waiting in the wings. Love the striped Target bag - now I need to head over there and check out the summer bags! Posted by: Jane at May 20, 2004 11:14 PMHey, purse people, there's a Purse-Along already going on! Check it out at Wombatty's. Let's all join together, shall we?? Posted by: alison at May 20, 2004 11:24 PMThanks for the updates,folks. I'm excited to hear that some finished spring fling projects are coming up! And our first Linen Drape project done - hooray! Posted by: alison at May 21, 2004 7:40 AMI loved that bag so much I had to go out and buy one myself. I am a a Targetaholic. It is a great little bag. Thanks Alison's Secret Pal.
