I’m So Behind
I’m quite behind on blogging, but not my holiday knitting. I’ve been busy, busy knitting.
Finally, I felted the messenger bag that I made for the store. I was nervous that the slip stitch flap wouldn’t work out. Here it is before felting.
And here it is blocking after felting.
As I feared, the slip stitch felted quite differently than the body. But I stretched it out all I could and it’s blocking right now. It’s hard waiting for it to dry. I really hope that it’s done by the morning. Fortunately the strap seems to be the right length. Twenty-five points for the person that can come up with a good name for my bag pattern. I’m not the most clever. But I imagine there’s something better than “Messenger Bag.”
Other soon-to-be finished projects to post: my raglan sweater, cashmere/cotton scarf, and a kidsilk night scarf. Busy, busy. And of course I still haven’t blogged about Rhinebeck. Probably too late now.

I still like “Purple Maze.” Other ideas, mostly lame:
“Don’t shoot the messenger bag.”
“Mazed and confused.”
“Mazy crazy.”
“Mazy Sunday” (you know, like “Lazy Sunday”? work with me here)
My daughter thinks you should call it a “Spiral Maze Bag.” Or what about “Zig Zag Maze Bag?”

Love the bag! How about “Going Postal” for a name for the pattern.
“Napa Roads”
The purple color reminds me of the vineyards of California’s Napa Valley, where the roads are very “wine-dy”. 
Very cool pattern!
