Aren't these needles beautiful? They're already my favorites by far!
I haven't really been working on a lot. My new position is keeping me very busy. There's a lot to learn and get used to. I had to find something quick and easy to knit with my new needles though so I chose to make some cotton dishcloths. They turned out ok. I really like the green striped ones.
here are some pictures of a bag I made as a gift. Here it is after I sewed the seams together and put the straps on, before I felted it.
Here it is after washing and drying it. See how much smaller it got?
And here it is after I embroidered a few simple little daisy stitch flowers on it. Overall, I think it turned out pretty well. I see lots of stuff I would have done differently, but it was still well received by the person I gave it to and that's what matters.
Next on the list is a baby blanket. I think.

The bag looks great to me! I would have loved getting it... The daisys were a great touch! The needles were a great holiday score! I have a different set of interchangeable needles. I use them all of the time ( I never like straight needles).
You like the needle set? I was toying with the idea of buying that set. I was worried that the colors would make it hard to see the yarn.
I love the needles! I used them to make the dishcloths that I showed. I usually hate making anythng with cotton because it has so little give to it, but using the Harmony needles the cotton moved on the needles so much better! I don't know about any other type yarn yet though.
I just ordered some needles from knitpicks! I am glad to know that you liked them!
