I have nothing active on my knitting needles! Can you believe it? I don't know how it happened, but after I finished the cardi, I looked around to pick up the next project and... nothing. (Wee one's bonbon sweater is all knitted but still needs buttons, so even though it's not done, it's not on the needles anymore!) Okay, I will be starting a baby sweater with my next knitting class tomorrow and I am already swatching different yarns for a fall jacket for wee one, but my hands were itching to start something this weekend.

So they started crocheting. This pattern is the super cute "ted purse" from Jaeger JB-29. It's small, it's simple, it's different. And wee one loves purses. And necklaces. It's perfect for her!

I didn't have any good bear-colored yarn in my stash at the right gauge, but then I remembered how much I loved that hot pink bobbi bear I knit for Shannon's baby. I've still got plenty of that blue sky alpacas dyed cotton and I know it makes a darned cute bear. So I snatched it up, stuck a hook behind my ear and went to Knitsmiths to crochet! So far I've only managed to crochet the back piece. I did start the front but goofed it up (hey, I'm not so good with the reading crochet!). And then I got distracted by the gang at Knitsmiths. But that's what playing hookey is all about, right?
