FO: Secret Santa Yoga Bag

I made this cute yoga mat bag for Calley, my secret santa through the Sweatshop of Love Secret Santa Swap. I had never meet Calley before but through some internet creeping I was able to discover that she was studying to be a yoga instructor. I thought this gift would be both adorable and practical- my favorite combination! It was  breeze to knit up and the construction was interesting. I did make a few mistakes on the lace pattern but luckily it's still just as useful.

It's so cute I feel like I just might need to make one for myself! Although it's going to have to take a place at the back of a very very long list.

ALSO today, my design sneak peak was featured over at Holla Knits. Check it out and see what's going on with this exciting and new project. 

Sunday Snapshot

Just working on a Secret Santa Project. Hopefully my person will be very excited about receiving this super cute (and functional!) yoga bag as a gift. I'm hoping it knits up quickly as my deadline is fast approaching. The yarn is Knit Picks Cotlin in Creme Brulee. It might look familiar because I used it in this sweater (and still had a few skeins in my stash).

Recently I've decided to frog it (rip it all out) and re-knit it. As my first sweater there are a few things I want to change and definitely a lot I've learned since I first made it. It has been sitting on my shelf unworn for almost a year. I can't bear to part with it (it is my first sweater!) but I'm tired of not wearing it. So, here's to a second chances and lots and lots of knitting.
