Well, I’ve been knitting so much this week! 

I’ve been able to finish a super cute bag using cables, and rosettes…adorable!  BUT…at this point, it’s kinda top secret, so I can’t show a picture.  But I can tell you…I LOVE IT!  🙂  I’ve been carrying it around this weekend as my purse, just to try it out, and it’s been everything I’d hoped!  It’s really roomy, too, which is a nice change from my last bag.  I kept having to cram everything in just right to get it all to fit.  Everyone I met kept complimenting me on my new purse.  That is a very satisfying feeling.  🙂 

And today, I finished the February LAL’s I had signed up for…Isela’s Cable Mittens, and Karen’s Half Fingered Gloves.  I kinda reworked each idea into a mesh of both.  This is what I came up with.

The fingers were knit up using the little bitty sock loom from DAlooms…I’ve had that idea for a while, and wanted to give it a shot.  It worked pretty well, except the tension needs to be kept very loose to avoid being too tight on the fingers.  I’m fairly satisfied as a whole, just a few things here and there to tweek for next time.  I love the cable cuffs…perfect touch!  Thanks to Isela and Karen for sharing their projects!  You Rock!  🙂
