I got started with a new project this week, using the yarn I bought at the Ram & Rose last Thursday. Because I started it while watching a video of the Pirates of Penzance (specifically while listening to Kevin Kline’s rendition of “I am a Pirate King”), this bag pattern will always be inextricably linked with that song. Now, every time I sit down to work on it, the song starts going through my head. Sigh. At least it’s a good/fun/happy song!

After finally finishing all of the lingering bag projects I had hanging around, I’m now ready to start a new project. But I can’t quite figure out what to do. I bought some nice yarn to make a small sunburst bag last night at the Rose and Ram, but I’d also like to do something with that red Trendsetter flashy yarn and red merino yarn. I found some patterns in my pattern-a-day calendar today, one for a hat and one for a tank top, that might also be nice with the red yarn. I’ll have to take some time to try some actual knitting this weekend.
