Lucy bag in "azul profundo" 100 Pure Wool. I started this bag after Thanksgiving...figuring I had plenty of time to finish it for Christmas. Then, I realized I was not going to have enough yarn (I had 2.5 skeins wound up, even though I could've sworn I had 3.5 skeins). The yarn is from Uruguay, so I couldn't just go and pick up another skein. I found someone on Ravelry who had a bunch but she ignored my messages asking to buy a skein. So, I set the bag aside...sigh. Figured it would be a birthday present or something. And then....digging through my yarn stash one day I found the long-lost skein!! Ack!! I stayed up late knitting furiously. Each row was 120 stitches and knitting 10 rows took me about an hour. I'm not a terribly fast knitter, but I'm not really slow either. Of course, I had to knit, felt, dry and ship it - no hope for Christmas. It was close though!
I didn't have time to take pictures of the bag before it left, but I figured the gift recipient would be happy to take some photos for me. Thanks, Mom!
