I finally cast on the She-Knits Melly Bag. I’ve had the pattern for quite a while and I’ve been meaning to knit it up forever, but just never got around to it. I think it’s the cutest bag! And size/shape-wise, it’s exactly the type of bag I love. This is also going to be my first attempt at felting, so wish me luck for when I get that far.

Gidget seems to be quite fond of this bag too. She hasn’t left me alone since I started knitting it. Tonight when I tried to photograph my progress, I turned my back to grab my camera and when I turned back to snap a picture, this is what I found:

Perhaps this is Gidget’s way of telling me she wants me to knit her a kitty-bed next?

Anyway, I’ve managed to run out of the yarn I was using (substituted yarns and didn’t calculate properly) so I need to make a trip to the yarn shop (darn!) before I can keep knitting. So I’m going to go back to my socks till I can get to the knit shop on Saturday.
