Sock Bags

I made sock bags for my knitting group buddies. The one for Penny is missing though. It was done in pretty shell prints in lt. blue and pink. The crocheted one will be frogged. It is Schaefer Laurel in "Judy Garland" I love the yarn but hate the bag, so I think it will become a baby sweater instead - it is very soft. The blue/green one on the right is the one I keep in the car with a small project. It is amazing how much I get done while my husband drives us around on errands. Time that would have just been wasted!
I don't think I posted it here, but I have a previous picture of the yarn closet in the messy stage. Now it is all tidied up. I store my different yarns in clear project bags. When I lined them up on the shelves it was very scary to see how much I have. But, now that it is all in the bins, it doesn't look like much at all. Of course, I still didn't have the right yarn for the lace shawl knit-along I'm starting on Friday so I had to buy more. I also want to knit some "duck feet" bootees which I'll have to shop for also.
Penny gave me a whole bag of this bumpilly yellow yarn. It made a nice stole for here in Florida. I wear them all the time in stores and restaurants. This yarn is cotton and just right. I need to do a little finishing, like weaving in ends and I might gather up each ofthe ends into some kind of knot or tassel. We'll see. Ta Ta...

Here's a shawl I made for Gina. I needed to make it a little longer so I just crocheted a simple edging and happily it came out nice.
I'm knitting an heirloom baby blanket. This is the center of it blocking. I might have to redo it, but "I'll worry about that tomorrow". It is a beautiful pattern and not difficult once it gets going, but I'm afraid the hard part will be adding the inner and outer borders. They get sewn on. The outer border will be easy enough, it is a "pleated" look and is just eased in around the corners. The inner "blackberry stitch" border must fit exactly as the corners are formed as you knit. Aaack! It's ok, I must have patience and perserverance.
On Ravelry I saw a thread asking what do you use for a knitting bag. I gathered most of mine up for a picture - I know there are a few missing, but we won't talk about them. I love bags, and I love to MAKE bags. Oh, so I guess that is why I have so many WIPs. This way I can put a WIP in each bag! --- or do I have so many bags because I have so many WIPs? (The chicken or the egg?)
