My Little Companion

DUH! I was looking through the closet last night and found the My Little Companion pattern that I bought out in Sterling a few months back. I started knitting right before dinner - I finished one whole skein by bedtime!

The colors in the photo aren't quite true-to-life. The colorway has sort of a muted vegetable-feel to it: eggplant, roasted red pepper, salad greens. The photo kind of exaggerates the colors a bit.

Unfortunately, as with most felted bags, it's all knit-stitch, so I won't have much opportunity to practice the Combined Knitting technique.

Anyway, I am re-evaluating the whole TKGA thing. It's starting to feel like some sort of dreaded school assignment. I'm battling two concepts right now: one is knitting just for the sheer joy of it; the other is to work a little harder at perfecting my skills - thus adding to the sheer joy of knitting over time. Is it worth the investment? Am I happy with what I'm able to produce with my skills staying at their present level? I will continue to ponder this while I pursue the joyous My Little Companion project.

It's a nice way to use some Kureyon. Love the colours and I've seen the pattern before. It's great.

I like the colors also and I can't wait to see the final results. I'm getting the itch to make one just looking at yours...I must finish Lacey first though. I'm too close to the end now to delay with a new project.
