My spoiler was Kimberly of Woven~N~Spun, who wove the lovely little bag. Along with the bag was a magnet from Oklahoma, a thread/yarn cutter, a pair of DPN keepers and some Burt's Bees lip balm (not shown, as the Husband has pilfered it...)Shannon H.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03702281119292847647noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132313605748488448.post-72009730512417168882007-08-08T12:52:00.000-05:002007-08-08T12:53:50.051-05:00Thanks - but pictures later!!I just wanted to share with everyone that I received my package in the mail yesterday ( I have been on vacation, so yesterday was the first day I got mail for almost ten days!)

Early this afternoon there's a knock at the door, I hobble over and I get a package. It's from <a href="http://fiberfiend.blogspot.com/">Stephanie</a>, check out the goodies. She was sooo generous, thank you AGAIN so much. This is fabulous. Oh, there was also a bar of awesome dark chocolate but that's already in my suitcase so I don't forget to bring it on Wednesday. I'm sure it will come in handy while at <a href="http://knittinguniverse.com/">Stitches</a>.<br /><br />Oh, you want to SEE the goodies? Ok. The notions bag is made from Noro Silk Garden, she made the stitchmarkers (which, by the way, my fave is the square-ish one) and she made the wine glass charms as well. Check out the Mickey Mouse key clip, I've never seen anything like this and I love it (hubby said it was perfect for me because I can never find my keys). Man, I love being spoiled. Thank you, Stephanie. We'll definitely have to hook up next February in CA at the Stitches West. :-)<br /><br /><div align="center">The bag is actually a bit greener and more purple than this shows. </div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7pGG11ayNjJQRNvSG2W91YlvYgZczjGLYZ8USA7PmztnnSoVbyYtyIclwKncShKB0OyRLxhT9lq43KTwMBPG_Ud9fXnyRd8iT-A0O_941IFxueTpa5SkxfpcW3tx9F976rMXXLF77TzxG/s1600-h/notionsbag.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095744998329444338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7pGG11ayNjJQRNvSG2W91YlvYgZczjGLYZ8USA7PmztnnSoVbyYtyIclwKncShKB0OyRLxhT9lq43KTwMBPG_Ud9fXnyRd8iT-A0O_941IFxueTpa5SkxfpcW3tx9F976rMXXLF77TzxG/s400/notionsbag.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYtargOHH6KZmrMe42uBpGJ4jA3F-lrqpjHfuX-7IoiMQscEM0x2mOtphqR_MUJ0D-bAFYIEQN-at4C5-1FgbA8Sua3g8XW-5EAclzNrQvz9Q2CK0piAUHPicI3JlxNsPea3UmdErCIbq/s1600-h/smswgm.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095744830825719778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYYtargOHH6KZmrMe42uBpGJ4jA3F-lrqpjHfuX-7IoiMQscEM0x2mOtphqR_MUJ0D-bAFYIEQN-at4C5-1FgbA8Sua3g8XW-5EAclzNrQvz9Q2CK0piAUHPicI3JlxNsPea3UmdErCIbq/s400/smswgm.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSRKzio2hWa758I4EqLgMT-QL8_S95GtgaC15ibiscGkaLd0AKW458Na3s3u2Q2oi1fyVzrQZwQCaXYFjcR2F_YoviHbI9bwVKAcZsFsjAzWW6R7ckDsJvhmgwr9vSgbv3ii-ZM9tKC-el/s1600-h/purseclip.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095744689091798994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSRKzio2hWa758I4EqLgMT-QL8_S95GtgaC15ibiscGkaLd0AKW458Na3s3u2Q2oi1fyVzrQZwQCaXYFjcR2F_YoviHbI9bwVKAcZsFsjAzWW6R7ckDsJvhmgwr9vSgbv3ii-ZM9tKC-el/s400/purseclip.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaKV3xtnYKViHZNtNRKoMZ4Ttw-KcelEVWl2o1HHvabHc_n3SzSav32IP2yTY9-WLPub3LEoPJZB_pPIdsj5MGARWFxqzRJM4unUXHgIXBHSIJipssfSDvnIFSf_z5DXn1xIfohPvY9G6/s1600-h/notionsbagswap.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095744555947812802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaKV3xtnYKViHZNtNRKoMZ4Ttw-KcelEVWl2o1HHvabHc_n3SzSav32IP2yTY9-WLPub3LEoPJZB_pPIdsj5MGARWFxqzRJM4unUXHgIXBHSIJipssfSDvnIFSf_z5DXn1xIfohPvY9G6/s400/notionsbagswap.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div></div></div>Midwest Knit Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631044061550852485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132313605748488448.post-37119110887407826792007-08-03T18:15:00.000-05:002007-08-03T18:18:20.735-05:00I can't explain it...I noticed today that the pictures I had posted earlier of Kathleen's bag had disappeared, both here and on my own blog, and I don't know why.

This is for a very busy knitter! This was my first ever attempt at sewing in a zipper by machine, and first pattern that I followed 100%! The bag is about 6" long - perfect size for sock knitters' notions (and it's filled with things that are helpful when knitting socks!) Oops, maybe I wrote too much!

I already had fish fabric (for my main floor bathroom), so it worked out great! I made a few changes to make it turn out the way I wanted for the linings, and I will definitely be making more of these. She wants to use it as a purse instead of a notions bag.

I've included a close up of the fabric as well. I'll be shipping this off sometime this week. I've included the required magnet, of course, but I've also included a little surprise as well. The recipient should have it by Friday at the latest. Please note that the instructions for the pattern did not include attaching the zipper with a sewing machine so it was all done by hand which means it's not perfect (I much prefer the sewing machine) but it still turned out well. At least I think it did!
