Small things coming together

[make_your_move]

Three or so weeks ago, the beautiful and talented wilfulcait made me a Beautiful Thing ... a small purse to be exact, crocheted out of recycled sari silk. Big enough to hold my ID and perhaps a cell phone of small size. I have searched and searched for just the right button/bead for to close with and found the right one this last weekend at Beadazzled.

I'm so glad you like it! I tried to make it Just the Right Size for going out at night at War.

It's great :) -- remind me when we go out shopping that I would like to pick up a skein or two of this stuff to make stuff with.

Got the camp boxes packed but inside the house? dude, I'm *so* not prepared.

It is horrendously expensive if you buy it by the skein in a yarn store. It is a fraction of that price on Ebay.

It's also an absolute bitch to work with, because it is uneven and lumpy and has absolutely no stretch to it at all. I can't even imagine trying to knit with it, it's hard stuff to use even with a crochet hook.

I've thought about trying to use it for weaving trim. That might work, and if it did it would be cool.

I've actually found it not so bad to knit with. Hmmm...wonder if I have enough on my needles now to make a bag from...*thinking, thinking, thinking*

I was thinking of buying it over at Touch the Earth, right above the food court ... didn't they have some last year?
