Weaving in Tails

That's right.  I was a "good kid" and resisted the temptation to cast on something new in order to weave in the tails on my BYOBag.  Will power!

The bag was a fairly quick knit, but was surprised me the most was how big it is.  It's kind of hard to tell from the photo but the red that you can barely see is a LARGE box of breakfast cereal.  The two 3# bag of coffee beans aren't even visible.  (I just noticed when linking to the pattern, my handles are in the wrong place!  How'd I manage that!?!)

This one probably won't be toting any groceries though.  It is more than likely bound to tote cross-country running gear (sweats, socks, dry clothes, snacks, etc) for the upcoming season.  Panda will be running for her fourth and final season.  Hard to believe the final year of high school is coming up!

After successfully completing the bag project, there was a lot of evening left to go without knitting.  Again, I resisted the urge to cast on something new and instead opted to pick up the "old" Spring Vest.

The orange stitch marker indicates how much knitting on the fronts has occurred.  It feels good to finally be in the decrease stage of this project.  However, there seems to be a bit of a fly in the ointment.

That red footstool that has been the resting place for the vest back happens to sit in front of our bay window. You guessed it, there has been a small amount of color fade going on!  Oops.  Thank goodness it's all on the back.  The back will be one shade of pink and the front another slightly darker shade.  Not really obvious (hopefully) when viewed from the sides. Time to finish this puppy!  (But maybe, just maybe I could cast on a pair of socks since my needles haven't seen socks in four WHOLE days! Mom gave me permission to bring knitting to the family reunion afterall.)
