After starting over because I was getting a different guage when I started a new skein, I finally finished the crocheted bag. I made this pattern up as I crocheted and it went pretty well. If I make it again I will make some minor adjustments. It would also be cool to make one and felt it.
I also finished the scarf that I was knitting. On Sunday, Dan and I took advantage of a beautiful autumn day and went hiking at a local state park after having lunch in Oxford, a university town north of Cincinnati. I worked on the scarf in the car on the way up and cast off as Dan was parking. Just your average 2x2 ribbed scarf using left over skeins of the Phil'laine and Oxygene from Le Pull Col Tunisien.
I was happy to start and finish these two projects in about two weeks. A gal, er, guy, needs some instant gratification sometimes, you know? Now it's off to finally finish seaming Monsieur Fancy Pants...
A side note: I am thinking of restarting the skull vest in a different yarn. Do any of you have any suggestions for a nice wool or wool blend in a 5-6 per inch gauge?
Every one acknowledges that men's life is very expensive, however we need cash for different issues and not every one earns enough cash. Thence to receive fast credit loans and secured loan will be good solution.

I LOVE your bag! How cool that you designed it yourself. I've been planning to design a bag myself, so it's interesting to see how you did it. Is the crocheted bag sturdy? I'd imagine that it's tougher than knitting, for sure. I see you you have one of my favourite magazines in there too! ^_^ Great scarf, as well! Bravo!

Wool would be wundebar. My lys has a good Rowan selection, so that is an option. I am also thinking of changing the skull art to something less complex to allow me to use a larger gauge.
Thanks for the props on the jacket. I found it at a thrift store for $20. It's super cool and looks fabu with all the black that I wear.

Your scarf looks fabulous! Very hip. And can I please borrow your jacket? Tres stylish, mon chou.
Re the skull vest, are you looking for a wool or cotton yarn?
