Knit two, rip out one.

This week I started the Kollage market bag tote kit that I purchased from Teresa at Hook-A-Frog.  Got about 1/3 of the way done and discovered that I had misread the instructions so had to unravel most of it.  When I get that I got the yarn all tangled up and made a royal rat's nest which took almost a full day to unravel.  Now I have almost completed the bag (down to the handle).  It is fairly easy pattern once you understand it and therefore think I will make several out of Lilly's Sugar'N'Cream cotton yarn for the Fall Mission Marketplace.  That means that this summer I need to make a bunch of hat and scarf sets in local school colors, i.e., Auburn, Alabama, UT, Bob Jones & Sparkman HS; several Market Bags, and hopefully Barbara and other will make some prayer shawls, afghans, and lapghans.  Will also make some regular hat and scarves maybe of nice lacy ones in lovely varigated and solid colors.  Then I will also have to make Christmas presents for Karen & the kids.  Would be nice if I had time to make everyone a sweater or at least Karen and the great grandkids, maybe Jen.

The Tote (Mine is more of an apricot/orange color)
And this is the Scarf Kit I also purchased from Teresa  it is also a Kollage Kit

Next week, once I have finished the tote, I'll start on another baby set.  Have some Jo-Ann's Sensations yarn in blue and white that I will use to make a couple of blue & white sets for little boys and that will give me a total of 10 sets to take to Choose Life.  I did finish the lace prayer shawl I was working on and I have a good sized collection between what I have finished and the bunch that Barbara Macksey has made.  She crochets such lovely lacey shawls and she does about one a week.  I am sure Ted will be surprised and pleased.  I have also found a simple pillow pattern to make a few more pillows out of yarn scraps (left overs from other projects).  Then it will be time to start on all of the stuff for Mission Marketplace.
