I [I]looooove[/I] my Lucy Bag. The handles are brilliant. Next time I’ll probably do the shorter handles so it’s a shoulder bag and I will definitely line it with pockets and a stabilizer. I’ve been using this as my daily bag for over a month.

And then Knitty’s Mr. Greenjeans. Super easy pattern and a pretty quick knit. It’s still drying but I think it’s gonna be a good cold sweater for the back of my office chair.
Pattern-wise: I went a size up to accommodate the boobages and as a result there’s poofy extra fabric in the back :ick: I’d have been better off figuring out some short row shaping, oh well.
I also did much more decreasing on the sleeves cuz they were huuuuge the first go 'round.
Hmmmm…I’m not terribly sure, because I have such a hard time predicting what will happen during the felting. The pattern does have an option for a shorter strap (I followed the long ones) and I would start by trusting that for my first try since the rest of the pattern was good.
Here is the original place to buy the Lucy Bag pattern. I searched for a free pattern, but couldn’t find one. Hopefully someone will be able to post it.
Here are some action shots of the sweater. I keep it in my office now, it’s super warm and reasonably comfy. I’m completely impressed with Cascade. I’m really sensitive to wool and can’t usually wear it next to my skin. This sweater is itchy, yes, but not NEARLY as bad as I expected!
