I finished something!

Yesterday I finished the sari silk purse. I will not post a photo. I'm really bummed by the result. I think because I used a new ball of yarn on the second half, and the second ball of yarn was *way* different from the first, the second half came out a bit larger than the first half, and so when I put the two halves together, one side is all puffy and saggy while the other side is a lovely pac-man shape. Um, never thought I'd say the words "Lovely Pac-Man Shape" but it was a nice shape for a purse, and it didn't come out that way. I think I'll still use it for transporting my stuff to and from dance class, but I don't think it will ever be my funky bohemian purse.

Finishing the purse did get my knitting needles moving, though, and so I've started a little hat. It's going to be similar to one I bought a while back, one I get tons of compliments on and everyone always asks "Did you make that?" and it's embarassing to say no, when I easily could have made it. So I'm making one. Maybe I'll make TONS of them and all my friends can have matching silly hats. That would be the best.
