I’m almost done with the main body of Abigail’s backpack.

How do you like the colors? I’m still loving the texture. I think I might be up for making myself another purse! Yeah, add it to the list. I need to finish Abby’s and Olivia’s backpack before school starts, I just signed up for the Knitup that Larissa is hosting* which has a deadline in September, there’s mom’s sweater, Olivia and Veronica’s best friend dolls, my brother-in-law who is currently in Italy wants me to knit him up a purse/satchel type thing (isn’t that cute?), I’d love to host a knit along this fall for my slip stitch garter hats, and I know I’m forgetting a number of others . Lots to do.

*(Please note the button in my sidebar. Ahem, this is the first button I have ever installed and I did most of the work myself! The hubby helped me finish it up, as I couldn’t get the image to show. I needed to change the code from whatever format it was in to an absolute path to the image. Now I know. BUT, hehe, I was a code monkey again! Hooray for me!)

Yvette (from France), who has been commenting for a few months on the site sent me a liner for Olivia’s backpack in a perfect-match purple, plus additional fabric to make one for Abby, plus a wonderful smelling cake of lavender soap, plus some yummy french candy! Can you believe it? What a sweetheart. Thanks Yvette! I hope you are enjoying your vacation!

And for Grandma….. click the link for some pictures of Veronica hamming it up!
