I Love new knitting toys !!!

My local LYS had another "Bag Sale"
If you buy one of their bags, the bag
itself AND everything you can fit in
it is.....50% off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love that, sucks me in every
time, too :)

Last time I bought this wacky shaped orange basket, (only pd $12) love the
handle. Of course I filled it, with about
3 or 4 projects worth of yarn.

This time I found this collapsible canvas box with handles, (pd $10, this time) it is an 8 inch square and it stands up on its own quite nicely. It just so happens to be the exact size to hold the squares i am knitting for another secret project, I need about 35 squares. Don't be guessing, now !!



Well, my Brother told me my surprise flower is a Japanese Iris ! Imagine that, in my Idaho rock garden, no wonder it was embarrassed to bloom! But with all the attention I gave it I am sure he will be proud and ready for his photo opp again next spring.

And for my Brother guessing and winning the secret contest I had going, I am going to hop on a plane in August and go visit him!!!! yyyeeeaaaa!!!


Second runner up, was my Step-Mom, for guessing Siberian Iris! She will also get a visit in August!!!!!!


You just never know what will happen over here at knitterjittermom, huh???

  2. you know....you can reshape your orange basket by getting it wet (minus the handle) and then just re-shaping it, or putting something inside to help shape a flat bottom and let it dry.
