Boho Granny Square Handbag

Yesterday at Fanciwerks I started a boho granny square purse in autumn colors. I really like this yarn she has called Classic Shades by Universal Yarn. It's the first time I've used it and I'm in love with it. It's 70% acrylic, 30% wool. The variegated portion of the granny square is made of this. It changes from orange to gold to beige to red. It comes in lots of different colorways. The only downside is it is over $8 a skein.

The first two rounds of the granny square.

One of six granny squares I need for the handbag.

There was also a braided scarf I saw at Fanciwerks that I want to figure out how to make. It's 3 strands of 2x2 ribbing about 4" wide all braided together to form a scarf. Neat.

Little Yellow Hat and New Paintings

I know I'm behind. Stupid Internet connection is on the fritz every other day or more. At any rate, last night I started knitting a little yellow hat for my granddaughter, who I will be visiting soon.

I also finished 3 paintings. I only have photos of 2 of them though. The witch one is on canvas board, The other one is gouache on heavy paper. Click to see a larger view. I can list either one or both in my Etsy shop if you are interested.
