Mama's got a brand new bag....
So I didn't get a lot done on my sock this weekend...
See? Why is this?
Lots of reasons. First, my son got back from a weeklong trip with his grandmother. I missed him like crazy! They did a trip through "Elderhostel" that took them to Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown. He had a great time. It was his 10'th birthday too while he was away! HE'S 10!!! OH MY! Anyway, he is back and I couldn't stop hugging him!
You would think that with him gone for a week I would have a ton of knitting time to my self! Nope. We did yardwork, ate GREAT food, and hung out with friends! Oh I did manage a few rounds of my Scrap sock grannysquare blanket:
Kinda hard to tell how big it is, isn't it? Here is a shot with my feet in it to show how big it is
Perhaps that is why my sock is not done! I can't put this down!
Which brings me to the title of this post. I like to hold on to some of my gift certificates for a while. I got a gift certificate from my friend "T-Bone's" great store "Razzberry" which is in Armory Square here in Syracuse NY. She has a ton of fun stuff. This certificate was from my birthday! I found a perfect knitting bag for me:
I love this store! Here is a detail:
Yay for new bags!

Mama...that bag is too cute!
And I can totally understand not being able to put down your blanket. It looks great! Sometimes you have to strike while the iron is hot with projects like that.
He went to Jamestown! I was there last month. It was pretty cool...I wish we would have had more time to visit Williamsburg and Yorktown. OH well, next time!

Your bag is fantastic! And that granny square sock yarn thing is really, really growing on me. (This from a girl who swore to never make another afghan again!)

Your granny blanket is looking great...and what a fun bag! I remember when Armory Square got started as a cool/hip place to be. At first it was just the whole grain bakery and not much else!

Fabulous bag! Fabulous!!! There is really nothing better than a new bag. Except maybe a new knitting bag...

That's is the coolest knitting bag ever! Or the hottest, I guess.
