W.I.P Wednesday

Woo! I'm finally more comfortable with knitting that I'm beginning a big project. Hey, this is really big news!  The Man loves--and I mean LOVES--Doctor Who.  In fact, he is 100% responsible for my own Who addiction.  So, to thank him for introducing me to the wonderfulness that is this show, I'm making him a T.A.R.D.I.S Kindle cover.  And with the help of my SIL, I've adapted the pattern from knitting on circular needles to knitting on straight needles, because I cannot get the hang of circular needles.  I know some people say that they're much easier than straight needles, but I simply don't find that to be the case for me.  Anyway, here's a little preview of the first 16 rows of the Kindle cover:

I'm really kind of proud of this!

And in crocheting news, remember those granny squares I made to use up scraps a while back?  Thanks to Pinterest, I finally found a use for them.  A Granny Bag!  My daughter requested a bag a while back and I finally found a cute way to not only fulfill her request but do something with these squares.  Now all I have to do is suss out how, exactly, to attach the straps.

Granny bag open; there will be a button to secure the top flap closed

Granny bag closed.  Use your imagination and picture
a button in the middle and a strap at the top.

Work continues on my Klimt socks but no new photographs of them yet...mostly because the difference between the last time I took photos and now is insignificant.
