I've spent a lot of the last week knitting. I knit Ben two hats, Alek one hat, and a new felted bag for me. Now I'm working on a scarf. Here are pictures of the bag, before it was felted. The blue and yellow yarns came from Purl in NYC, from a couple years ago when my sister and I took our parents there for a long weekend vacation. The pink and yellow fizz came from Shuttles, Needles and Hooks, the yarn store in Cary. The picture below shows the whole bag, with handles after it was stitched and ready to felt.

The picture below is a close up of the side seam, which was to be lined in the hot pink yarn. The blues felted so well, the pink dissappeared after felting. Ah, well.

This is a close up of the fizz topping and the handles.

Alek build a marble run on the kitchen table yesterday ... lots of fun!

Here's the whole run ...

We tore it down this morning and we'll build another one later today. Below is our first Christmas puzzle, only 500 pieces, that we built a couple weeks ago:

Beautiful bad Marna! I wish I knew how to make that sort of stuff. I always wanted to learn how to knit, just never did. Loved the Marble run, looks like a lot of fun, and the puzzle too! Keep enjoying the Holiday break:)
