Unfinished!

I realized I have many many many unfinished projects. On the needles right now:

Heart scarf
Pinwheel rug
Bag for Carol
Scarf for Kim
Hat for Nathan
Log cabin pillow (soon to be frogged)

And I intend to make:

Bags to submit to Knitty
Scarf for Allen
Bag for Valerie
Rainjacket out of plastic bags
Toddler sweater

And those are just the ones where I've already picked out the patterns! Ouff.

To distract myself from these unfinished things, I'm posting photos of the bag in progress. I went to the yarn store and learned how to wind the yarn on that neat contraption they have that makes it so easy. Gone are the days when men would come acourtin' and hold the yarn while you, beauteous lass that you were, would wind it into a ball with smooth, delicate hands. Now we have a contraption, made in Japan, which will do it for ye.



Here is the first panel (of four) that I made of the bag. Sari yarn is interesting to work with -- some parts are really skinny and some quite thick. You can see the two hanks I wound on the left side.
