10.29.2003 :: frogs in the rain
This is the Booga J bag made from Kureyon number 80. Now you see it, soon you won't. It has come out alarming small. Remember, my first Booga J was with the over the rainbow icelandic yarn. So, I"m kind of spoiled. When the needle size says 10.5 in a bag pattern, and I don't own a 10.5, I don't fret. I just reach for the nearest thing. I started this with a size 11. Which would have worked fine, except that it was a 32 inch long needle. Too long for a booga in the round. I then took my size 10 needles. We see how successful this decision was. Pre felting, this bag is about as wide as 8 inches. this will be one tiny bag. So, I frog and drop in at the yarn store to buy a 10.5 needle. This time, remind me to pass the yarn. I don't need any more. Yet.
Today it is raining. It is pouring. In fact, the old man is snoring. It would be a great day to stay in and knit. And nap. If you are able today. Do it for me!

Sounds like you need a Boye Needlemaster set Sandy! Santa? Are you reading Sandy's blog? She really really needs a Needlemaster!
On a totally unrelated subject... what's up with the old man? We have a constant debate in our house as to why he couldn't get up in the morning... I say he's drunk, Mike says he's dead... any thoughts?
Have a great day!Johanna [jofrog16@yahoo.com]
