Yes those handy little string shoping bags that tuck inside themselves
when not in use so they can be conveniently thrown in a bag or car is
a good idea. I think most of my patterns for such things are crochet,
but that's no matter to me. I could random dye some cottom string to
make them more interesting.

Hallo Vintage Purls
In my corner of the word 2 brother factions of a nation kill each
other and in order to moove the blame they Shoot daily missiles on a
quiet civilian town over the international border. in 10 days they
shot 250 missiles, and the people who have been targeted like this for
6 years are tired of it ,,,, But if our government does it`s duty and
does something to stop it the world snares at us ,,,, while nobody
snares at the MISSILE sending people who alsi still hold our Guy
Shalit , and also a Britis Journalist ,,,

I've been lurking, so I should introduce myself.

I'm Joan, from Bellevue Nebraska, just outside of Omaha. 60 (!) years
old, mother of two wonderful boys and grandmother of a 5 year old boy
and 2 year old girl. Married for 28 (!) years to the same great guy.

Been knitting since I was 7, though most of my adult life I've been a
dedicated quilter. With the grandchildren's arrival, I've taken up
knitting again and am THRILLED with the new technics and wonderful
yarns.

Currently working on a felted bag (Noni Adventure pattern), EZ
surprise sweater in a cotton yarn for the 2 year old, a sweater coat
for me and a lace scarf for a daughter-in-law. Felting and lace are
my current passions. Why didn't someone tell me this was so much fun?

I've enjoyed reading the posts in this group and look forward to
learning a great deal.

AND, what's wrong with knitted OR
crocheted bikinis, if I may ask?

oh, there's nothing wrong with the knitted or crocheted
bikinis! it's the people who knit/crochet them & wear them in
public...
first off, bikinis in & of themselves, are pretty silly. you
can't swim in a bikini (i will grant there are a few 2 piece
suits that are passable for swimming, but they aren't
bikinis).
so, the sole purpose of a bikini is showing off one's body
without breaking any local obcenity laws... that's fine. but
if you weigh 300 pounds, you really do need to rethink that
bikini wearing thing... please!
lee who notices that's who wears the knitted/crocheted
bikinis

Mirjum,

I would love to work with you on a project with you.

When Tammy, John, Max and Ava came over to celebrate Mother's Day with
Gail, I gave Ave her pink Socks!! She would not take them off. She
kept saying over and over, "I love you Grandpa." Boy was my chest big.
Then Tammy said Dad, "I want a pair just like them!" So I am making
a pair of ping socks for Ava. The best part of all is when "Ava said,
"Grandpa will you teach me how to make things?" I can't wait she is 4
years old very intelligent beyond her years. Tammy started reading to
her the first week she was home and has not stopped.

I still have 2 crochet afghans I've been working on for months and I
finally started working on the Ultimate Knitting Machine Gail purchased
for me over a year ago. I will not give up the knitting needles for sure!

I have a moebius scarf I need to start and finish a scarf I am making.

I have a knitted baby blanket I am making for a shelter in Rockford,
Illinois.

I also keep several computers networked together, just to keep up with
my old job. I have been playing with different flavors of the Linux
operating system.

Mirjum I hope you get caught up. But, I know we are two of a kind and
will never catch up.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

Would you possibly have a url for one of those patterns of the Stow-Away
Shopping Bags, please? Preferrably crocheted. I went looking and the
closest thing I could see was something you have to order from Annie's
Attic. I was sure there would be a free pattern for one of theses out there
somewhere... but I may be wrong.

I used to have one of those bags that an Aunt had made and given to my Mom
years ago, but it's been many years since I have seen it. I always thought
it was a neat idea. The one my Mom had was done in (I'm sure) cotton, and
when you tucked it inside itself there was a button on the bottom to close
it into a small ball to toss into your purse.

*hugs*

I need to take a look at No Sheep for You - it's a new knitting book
by Amy Singer that uses no wool yarns. I think there might be some
nice summer things in it.

Try one of these:

There are lots more out there, but one of these should be to your taste.

Very pretty, thank you! ) They look very much like the one my Mom used
to have, except the handle wasn't quite so wide (but then, a wider handle
would likely make it stronger) so that it could be tucked inside itself and
buttoned closed to toss in your purse. But I *do* like these and will try
making a couple. I want one for myself, and I know a few other people who
would like them too. Thanks again!
