lelah got me on my knees

I've been trying to finish the Lelah top, but that takes a while. I don't pick it up unless I can concentrate on it, take a little bit to get into it. It's coming along slower than I would like but it's my first adult size garment. I'm still not completely confident that it's going to fit the way I want it. I have a feeling there's going to be some trial and error involved when I get to the bust line. I don't really know how to do shaping or shoulder straps. Should be a learning experience I won't soon forget.

so um yeah long time no see

I guess it's been a while since I posted. I've been in a funk lately but I'm hoping to get out of it. The change in seasons always throws me off. I finished my bag made from shopping bags. I made the handles with plastic and twine for reinforcement. Used a crochet hook and chained right into the bag and chained some more and then back in the edge of the bag and did a single crochet row back without the twine. Did that on both sides of the bag and voila all done.
