Well I’m on my way to a conference in a car. It’s been a long time since I was on a car trip. I’m on my way up to Wanganui to speak at said conference , the conference is about diversity which seems to mean a whole lotta queers. My workshop is on transgender rights and such. can I just say that I am on a laptop in a car on the internet how cool is that! I love the vodafone vodems.

But really I’m not here to yack on about conferences and vodems. I’m here to talk about knitting. So I have been just knitting away on my Around the World socks I’m still not at the really interesting bit yet, just still two cables running down the sides of the sock, but I am so close to the part where the cables start traveling I can taste it in the air.

The Vintage Purls yarn still keeps me fascinated on what is going to happen next. I keep going oooh look at that colour, wow isn’t that pretty. I just can’t get over the look of it. Doesn’t it just make you want to sing “What a Wonderful World”?

So Monday I went into my sewing studio with the intentions to make myself a new skirt, only to find out I had a lot less fabric then I originally thought. So no skirt, but I did make this.

It’s a small project bag made out of some vintage fabrics. I really like it, which is odd because it’s not usually my colors or type of fabric.  It was easy to make it could be better done but I was getting lazy and wanted to get back to knitting, naturally.

Well we have arrived so I am going to leave you with this final shot of my favorite rabbit with a sock on her head…
