Today I had my son sew for the first time.  We used this tutorial to make the bag out of a fat quarter.  I used my my I-cord maker to make the drawstring.  He did pretty well.  He only did it because I made him but if he didn't at lest try how would he know of he liked it. We didn't measure or iron because I didn't want to complicate things for him.  The first thing my daughter made was a pillow with penguin fabric for her kindergarten teacher for Christmas.

Yesterday for knitting I worked on the blue shawl.  I'm up to the lateral braid which is something I have never done before.  It doesn't look hard just a bit fiddly.  When we went to the library I got Blameless, the next book in the "Parasol Protectorate" series, so I spent yesterday reading that.  I'm almost done.  I also looked at some free classes on Craftsy.  It's an online site where you can take classes on many subjects from knitting to photography to cooking, just to name a few.  Most of the classes you have to pay for ($20-$60 or so) but there are a few free ones.  I haven't had the cash to pay for a class yet but I want to do that some day.

The cookies that didn't turn out well were yesterday's only adventures.  I did get a view from Lithuania, that's exciting.  It's a bit rainy but nothing else is going on.  I wish I had more knitting to show you but the blue shawl is almost done so that will help.  The red shawl is almost done too and I need to start on my niece's cupcake.  I have so many plans, hopefully I can get them done soon.  See you next time.
