A bag for Sally

Just a quick post. Sally is the best babysitter and as such, she needed a new tote bag.

Here it is featuring Ikea fabric and Irish linen. The pattern is from Last Minute Patchwork and Quilted Gifts.

New FO!

Hi! It's been a while, but at least I have an FO to show. 

I've made different versions of this scoopneck sweater before, which is essentially a pretty basic pattern cobbled together from several other basic sweater patterns.

This time I used Calmer (purchased from Kelp!) and I also added short row bust shaping following the directions from Knotions. I kinda messed up the placement of the short rows, but not enough to rip it all out and start over again.

 
The result - instant fav! Now I gotta get started on a sweater for the girl.
