The sun is back!

After two days of torrential rains it is sunny once again! I'm not sure how warm it is because I've been cleaning my apartment and reading for class, but it sure looks nice outside. I tried to post about 3 times last night, but due to the bad weather my internet keeping messing up. Thursday was a very busy day, and didn't get to knit at all.

Yesterday I finally started the last piece of my purse. It is knit on smaller needles that the rest of the pieces and with only 1 strand of yarn instead of 2, so this piece might take a bit longer. This picture is of my first go round...I knit it with 2 strands, and then I read the pattern again, and figured out that it was with one strand. The picture to the right -> is the second and correct attempt at the last piece. This piece will be used as fabric for flowers. The flowers will be cut, free form.

The below purple thing was my first attempt at making a shrug. I knit it over Christmas, and am just now getting around to washing it in hopes that it might shrink just a bit and when worn will look a bit less than a cross between sholder pads and a linebacker.

These earings were a present from my mom. She has a similar pair that I've attempted to perminently borrow, but never got away with it. She found these at Dillards and bought them for me.

*EDIT* The earings are actually silver & gold. The middle piece is actually the only gold part, but in the picture it looks like the whole earing is gold. idk?
