Wow it has been a while since my last post. I have been a little busy. Also the projects I was working on were holiday gifts. Those are my excuses.

Here are photos of Allison's bag in progress.

The above photo is the front panel. There are two pockets in the front.

It is not your eyes. The photo is blurry. This the bottom of the front of the bag.

This is the inside of the bag. There is a place for pens and a wide pocket. There was suppose to be a zipper near the top. The interior fabric is too light for the zipper, so I improvised with velcro.

This is the finished bag. I'm not sure if the bag will be delivered to Allison. I think Mom may try to steal it. It took a long time to make it. It took me almost seven hours to cut the fabric. It also took a while to figure out the instructions. But once the bag started to take shape, it got easier. I have the fabric to make another bag, but that is going to wait until I have forgotten how frustrated this bag made me.

I also knit a sweater for Mom. Tomorrow I'll sew the zipper in. Below is the back in progress. It is a great shade of blue with flecks of other colours in it. Unlike Allison's bag it was ready to be unwrapped on Christmas Eve. Just barely...

Well Canada is playing at the World Juniors and the intermission is almost over.

More later.
