Aren't they cute?

Here is the second batch of Sockapalooza 4 Bags, all ready to be packed and shipped:

I told the third batch to stand up straight!

It has been so much fun to see all of the different combinations that people have made! Yes, I am having a lot of FUN!

Don't you want one? Just go to http://www.sockapalooza4bag.blogspot.com/, and create a bag that I sew just for you!

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!

On Tuesday I launched http://www.sockapalooza4bag.blogspot.com/ . Using Sockapalooza 4 themed Moda Funky Monkey fabric I am letting people choose their own fabric for their bag. I started selling them at $10 and then realized that $12 was much more sensible (and profitable). I posted about it here and on the Sockapalooza 4 pligg. In less than 48 hours I have sold sixteen bags!

Okay, I was going to tell this whole story (yes, Anne-Marie, there is always a story), but I have bags to sew and I have a feeling there may be a lot more bags to sew! Because Alison, of The Blue Blog, author of Charmed Knits: Projects for the Fans of Harry Potter (which I own), the whole organizer of Sockapalooza 4, bought one of my bags! I sent her the invoice like everyone else and then e-mailed her to ask if it was okay if I blogged about her buying one of my bags. She not only said that I could blog about it, but she said that when she gets the bag she is going to blog about it!!!

I think I am going to need more fabric!

You get to choose from 10 fabrics to create your own commemorative Sockapalooza 4 project bag!

The bag is completely reversible. These pictures are of opposite sides of the same bag.

The sides measure approximately 7.5" high by 20" around.

The bottom is 5" by 5" square.

Every bag gets 30 inches of 2mm silk wrapped red elastic cord with a black plastic double stop.

And did I mention that they are only $12 - including shipping? Better order soon, the fabric will run out eventually!

Knit on the Fourth of July

I have been meaning to knit a sweater for RedSweaters.org. I decided that the Fourth of July was perfect. I realize it is simple and small, but a finished object in about 90 min. (I am a slow seamer) is preaty cool! Oh, and you don't sew in those two ends - there are used to tie all of the sweaters together.
I have a ton of extra Red Heart left over, so if you want to knit one let me know and I'll give some "Heart".
