The finished bag

Well, here is the finished knit bag after a long time on needles. Started this project early last year (maybe earlier?) and finished it last week. Either side can be the 'outside' and both have advantages. The purl outside allow the corners to stand up,
yet the knit side does look better in my opinion;
it allows the flecks of colour in the yarn to show.
I've made a bag like this for my Nan a few years back and enjoyed it, so made another for myself, slightly longer this time........ now....... what to use it for.........

A favourate pic of mine.


Hi !

A warm Saturday today, 33c. Here's a picture of my son Riley at the beach taken in November last year, it was a bit cooler then :) There's something very poetic and moving about this pic to me.

First posting

Hi,
Welcome to my little cybercorner ! I'll be sharing some of my interests and thoughts along the way; a little place to put my findings and small treasures. Hope you enjoy something here, and be patient as I discover this blogging world :)

I'd like to start off with a quick video of a flash of lightning. This is quite amazing to me as it shows just how close lightning can be!

Will be posting other very short videos as I edit them, as well as other pics usually of weather/nature.
