Bag for Daughter #2's Friend Celeste

 
Posted by Picasa

When I gave the Penguin bag to the second daughter for her birthday the first thing she did was, of course, show it off to her friend.  The next thing I know I am on the hook to make another, this time with an Otter.  If you Google Otter you will see there are not a lot of great images to choose from.  The choice was difficult and the bag finally made.
The friend loved it and now I'm back to knitting.

One of the really great things about son #1 is that he is not afraid of what others think/say. He wore this hat all day at at school. What a fun thing!

Family

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER.  
Every year for the month of October we are the same age.  She was born early and only 9 months after me.  So we enjoy the same age (in year) for about 6 weeks every year.  We think it's pretty funny.  

Links I Like.

Today I am post a list of knitting and crochet links from around the Web of work I like or admire or hope to complete soon.
Hope you can go check them all out.
