First, before getting into the WIP stuff, I saw a post by a fellow blogger regarding his dislike of people taking their blog pictures with their cell phones. I usually do this because my phone is handy; however, I never thought the pictures were that bad. So truly, give me your honest opinion on the photos. If they are terribly distracting or not - you won't hurt my feelings. I just want to make sure everyone who chooses to come to this blog truly enjoy it, pictures included.
So, with that said - on to the WIPs!
MYSTERY CAL
While I'm not wanting to guess, it is hard not to. It definitely is not a hat - although wouldn't I be quite an interesting sight, strutting my stuff around in an over-zealous and baggy hat.... flopping around on my heat. Perhaps I could make a pair of dangly earrings out the extra pieces and put one on a necklace. Oh - wouldn't I be lovely!
In all actuality, I think it may be a bag, but I'm not 100%. Obviously, it is still relatively early on in he project (I think) so it could turn into anything. If it is a bag, it definitely would need lined because the bottom of the main piece has one of the flower-looking pieces in it (not sure if you can see it in the picture).
MARKET BAG
I had the Caron green yarn left over from when I frogged out the man's Christmas present last week and when I saw a small pattern booklet at Michael's for Enviro-Totes, I knew I had to get it. I grabbed it up for 3$ and headed to yarn group. I have been working on pattern #4.
Oddly enough I thought the bag was going to be square-ish from the picture, but alas - it is not square. It is definitely round.
I have put a few hours in on it and it is going pretty well. I will say I'm not exactly sure I'm going to stop at the recommended rows from the pattern for the sides. I think I want my bag to be a little taller - so I will be deviating from the pattern a wee bit (per norm).
CABLES
This was a bookmark pattern I found on Ravelry: Cabled Bookmark by Lesley Raymond.
Granted, right about where the needle is there I don't know what happened (sneezed or something) and stitches were being picked up and dropped like no one's business). I did end up frogging up this piece, but up until that point, it was going pretty good.
No - I'm not ready to tackle a sweater.
SOCKS
uh.... uhm.... *runs away*

I take photos on my phone too, mainly because I don't currently have a working camera. I'd like to take posher pictures, but I'm not generally put off a blog based on phone pics. Your cables look very good btw, hope you try them again some time!
Love the flowers, if it is a bag it's going to be cute! I did a market back for me a while ago when I was working on a large project. Since I made if from Lion Brand Suade and Ribbon yarn I only use it as a yarn bag. Can't wait to see your projects finished!
Projects are looking great. Do you find knitted bags stretch? I am always worried I will fill them with shopping and end up with it dragging along by my feet!
Everything looks great! I love the crocheted flowers.
that CAL looks like it is interesting! I have no patience and I would be so desperate to get to find out. Lovely projects on the go though :)
Liking your cables - and looking forward to seeing how the bag and the mystery CAL turn out. Have a great week x
I think your photos look fine. As do your cables!
I'm so intrigued by the mystery CAL, I can't wait to see how the flowers will figure into it. And I really like the look of that market bag, the texture and colour look cool.
Personally I wouldn't really know if someone used their cell phone or not. I only have an $80 Kodak Easy Share and sometimes when I have used my cell phone I think the pics actually came out better.
Love the cables. Someday I'll try knitting.....
I think cellphone photos beat having no photos :-)
Your photos look good to me. That mystery project looks like it might be a bag.
love all your projects. I'd say the first one is either a bag or a REALLY big hat for a REALLY big giant. I think the cables look great, despite you having to frog it. Practice makes perfect, right!?
