Jofrog is Knitfrog!
January 2 2008
So, are you dying from the suspense? Well, that whole coffee table full of fabric was meant to become 3 projects. One for a Christmas present, one for a present to be gifted in the future, and one for me.
One of those projects was completed, one is cut out, and the third hasn't been touched. The good news is that they were tackled in order of importance and no... I didn't put myself number one on that list!
The Christmas present was for my fabulous cousin Jenny. She's been on this blog before. I made her a double knit fishy hat October 2006. She was my maid of honor at my wedding, and I'll be a bridesmaid in hers this November. I'm sure there were others, but the crying (not napping) baby in the other room isn't allowing me to recall at the moment. Jen, can you help?
So, this year she got a tote bag from Last Minute Quilted and Patchwork Gifts.
Complete with a tag of it's own.
...and I always want to see what people used for a lining fabric, (I really wish you could see the lining in the book).
Christmas gift giving was a bit crazy, (as it always is), and I was unwrapping presents with Kaya while Mike handed ours out, but he came back to me with this story:
Jen opened the box and took out the bag, admiring it respectfully. As she started to put it back into the box, Mike pointed out the tag. She said "I thought that Johanna got this from Etsy, but Johanna IS Etsy!" Awesome! What better compliment is there than that?
So, the rest of the projects will pitter towards completion and possibly even be blogged about here.
Happy New Year!What DID That Fabric Become?
