i'm making some good progress on my chic knit's chickami. a friend told me it look liked i was knitting a bunch of bugs ... cool! i'm on ball #3 of my yarn, and according to the pattern, i should be able to knit the cami with just 4 balls. that got me thinking ... i could knit another one with just two balls of bamboo.

and for the non-knitty ...


i have some sewing projects on the horizon ... a shoulderbag (pictured) and a denim wrap skirt. i buy most of my fabrics at mary jo's in gastonia, n.c. if you've never been there, it is worth the drive. it's huge and the prices are low. mary jo (yes, she's a real person) buys in such bulk that she can pass a significant savings to her customers. i have seen wonderful cottons for $5/yd that are sold for $9+ in most quilt shops.
