Thanks to everyone for the Booga compliments! At first, I wasn't sure about the colors, but after I started going on it, I became rather fond of them. They look like a nice combo for Winter, don't they?

I love the color of the Booga Bag! If just Noro wouldn't be so expensive!

Here's my new FO. Yes, I'm fairly productive these days

It's my I-have-to-test-the-pattern-before-buying-expensive-KSH shawl. It's the Kiri pattern and it's going to be my second gift for my mum. It has the right size for the biggest doll she has.

That shawl is gorgeous!! And I'm not even a shawl person!! I think I like your yarn (and how it is blocked) better than the one in the pattern picture. What yarn did you use?

Oh, and a while back Kemp posted http://www.woolneedlework.com/Yarn/K...oro_yarn.shtml as a good place to buy Noro Kureyon inexpensively. Their price is only about $6.59/skein. You need 3 skeins for a Booga. But, I must say that the next time I make one, I think I'm going to use a bulkier yarn or double up the strands of some worsted weight yarn. I like the bag, but I would like it even more if it had a little less give.

Yay! More pictures! I just got mine too, and keep looking around for things to take pictures of. Tried to get the hummingbirds to smile, but they wouldn't cooperate.

I like the colors on your bag. Is that felted, or fuzzy? 'Cause if it is felted, it must have been the size of a body bag!

Is there a free pattern for that??? I just bought big yarn like that "on the spot", but I don't know what to make!
