JessaLu Knits (and Spins!)

…the one with all I have are some new bags.

I tried, I couldn’t find any eye candy to save my life so you guys are getting a picture of three lovely bags that are newly listed:

(btw, there’s only ONE pink skully bag left – I don’t know if I’ll be able to get fabric to make more, either!)  The two prints on the bottom are my February ‘love’ prints that will only be listed until the 28th!

In knitting news, the left Knotty glove is coming along nicely.  I’m almost at the part where I need to do fingers and I’m trying my very best to not become frozen with finger fear yet again…

…a winner!

Because this was all about RR and his club I decided to let him have the honor of picking the winner (also, in case you hadn’t already guessed, it’s way easier for me to take a picture if it’s his hands doing the mixing and the tossing).  So, without further ado…

Mix Mix…

Toss Toss…

Mix Mix…

Pick Pick…

The Winner!!

Congrats, Diane!  Leave a comment on my ‘Contact Me’ post and I’ll reply to you so we can discuss colors, favorite fibers and a shipping address!

Thanks to everyone for playing, RR is *very* happy that so many people voted!  You love him!  You really, really love him!  (well…the jury is still out on Cookie *aherm* ;op ) As soon as we know who won the grant I will let you know – unfortunately, our friend who works at the bank went on vacation this week and we forgot to check with him about a time frame for notification before he left.  He will be back next week and I’ll have a better idea – or we might even know by then whether we won.  You guys are AWESOME!  Way to show those car guys that fiber people ROCK!  ;o)

I thank you, RR thanks you and his car club thanks you.  All of you.  At last count we had 45 comments/entries and even more clicks through to the bank website (and I’m hoping that clicks = votes!).  You guys are awesome!!  I will tally everything today and pull a random winner for a skein of my yarn tonight – the winner will be posted tomorrow.  Good luck to you all!!

The past few weeks have been crazy busy for me.  Busy crunching numbers and busy in the sewing room (new bags are going up in the shop today!  Probably this afternoon – btw, did you know you could subscribe to an RSS feed for an Artfire or Etsy shop?) which has led me to yearn for ‘down time’ which has led me to do more spinning and, consequently, more knitting.  Instead of casting on a new project, I decided to start working through some of my WIPs.  First up?  My hands have been pretty cold lately so I decided to break out the gloves.

The last time I spoke of my Knotty Gloves was June 18th when I was at this stage of the game:

For some reason, after I posted this, I put them down for almost six months (!).  I’m thinking maybe I was intimidated by fingers…ohwell, now they look like this:

Getting there!  ;o)
