Summer Project Bag

Well they'll certainly see me coming with this bright summery bag!
Another brilliant stash buster, I had a piece of fabric just big enough to make a small project container for knitty things and quick to sew too!

I've made this pattern up before as part of a "lesson" and I wanted to refresh myself of the assembly as I plan to make some quick and easy "shoppers" now that the local supermarkets are starting to make noises about their plastic bags and we're beginning to feel like we're the only ones without shopping bags!

You can just see my knitting inside, I've completed most of the first half of the front to the start of the cap sleeves, t'other side to go and then the neck and arm bands - I shall be glad when its done and I can move on to projects more exciting!

I was canvassed, this week, about a new knitting magazine for the experienced knitter! This ought to be exciting, I enjoy reading magazines and I shall be watching with interest signs of publication.

Watching, too, closely for signs of the newest Rowan magazine, I've had a sneaky preview already and am sure I read that its release is to be early this season (although that might have been overseas!) either way I shall be looking for it in local shops to purchase as I've decided not to renew my membership; mainly because there weren't, apparently, any benefits for me personally and I object to having to wait for my "members copy" of the two main magazines ahead of my non-members pal's who were rushing to show off their copies purchased WEEKS ahead of mine in local shops! Added to that, I read, again, that they are having supply problems with their membership gift and I just can't be bothered with it all again as it just makes me all cross!! I'll miss the Rowan member's forum, but catch up (and some more!) easily on the fabulous Ravelry for knitty-gossip!
