Laser Tag!


Today we all took a little break and went Laser Tagging! We left school at about 11 and had a great time at Funtime America as we shot each other with fake lasers! Unfortunately I forgot to wear sneakers and I was tripping a lot but it was still a lot of fun! We figured we needled one last day to be children (although I think that laser tagging is super fun no matter what your age!) We asked the guy to take a picture of us in our laser tagging gear!





Im pretty exhausted from laser tagging so I haven't been able to knit a lot today but I did get a lot of my bag done last night until I ran out of yarn. My bag will have to be put on hold until I gather the energy to drive to the craft store.



I decided that i'm going to make a few alterations to the bag. I have decided against a button because I just can never find any buttons I like. I have also decided to make the strap a bit longer. I really like the pattern because it is very easily changeable. It is easy to make the bag bigger or smaller, a messenger bag or a handbag, you can also very easily add cables or little designs in it to make it a bit more special.

A Bag for Knitting



Every knitter needs a knitting bag! Unfortunately I do not have one...until know that is! I got the pattern from my knitting teacher Sandy and so far it is fairly easy. The whole bag is seed stitch and worked on circular needles. I'm using scrap yarn I had and size 11 circular needles. Since the yarn is really thick it should be a fairly fast project which is good that way i can continue working on the lace vest I started from a Vogue Knitting Magazine.
I'm hoping that the bag will be done soon that way I can use it for my other knitting projects! So
what projects are you guys making this week?
