I’ve finally sewn something that I’m proud of! It took me several attempts and lots of wasted thread but I did get there. It’s pretty plain but I like simple. I’ve debated giving this one away as well but, given that it’s my first good bag, I’m feeling attached.
I haven’t been doing as much knitting. It’s been incredibly hot here and that never makes working with yarn easy. I’ve had to push my AC up higher to prevent a ridiculous energy bill (and it was still pretty crazy) so it’s not as comfortable in my house right now. I love North Carolina but geez are the summers bad.


Your bag looks great and just the right size for a sock project. It’s hot here in Arizona too ☺️
Thanks! I bet it is hot in AZ. One of the troubles here in NC is the humidity. It’s like walking outside into a bath
You’re welcome! I totally understand about the humidity. It was like that when I lived in Alabama.
It really looks great! Congrats on a wonderful project (and I hope you keep it for yourself). I spent high school and college in Virginia, so I get it. The heat + humidity is rough!
Thanks! I do think I’ve settled on keeping it for now. If I make a new one I like more then I’ll give this one away
