Tools, Totes, and Tatting

My new shuttle with matching crochet hook from Emsyjane arrived yesterday! I had written asking about a hook and shuttle combo a while back, and I was thrilled when Emma listed it in her shop. I did leave it there for at least a week. When no one else pounced, I knew the set was meant to be mine!


Denise and I were finally able to get together to exchange Christmas presents on Monday. Yes, Denise and I have new Origami pouches with matching shuttles. Denise's bag is the opposite of mine, with the holly on the outside and the poinsettias on the inside.


I love these little bags!


I started another edging tonight, this time in Lizbeth olive green #678. This one is size 20, so it's quite a bit larger. I do like this pattern!


I'm still working on my rib warmer. I'm about halfway finished with the first side. I did find my old rib warmer. It looks much smaller! I think I must have used sport weight yarn. I'm using worsted weight this time around. I may have been a bit ambitious thinking I could finish it by this weekend, but I'm still gonna try!

Love your bag and shuttles. Do you know where the shuttles came from? Very pretty!

Anonymous ~ the Christmas shuttles are Starlit shuttles from Handy Hands that I decoupaged with scraps of fabric from the Origami bag.

Beautiful bags and shuttles!! Love how you decorated the shuttles to match the bag.

I also like the crochet hook and tatting shuttle. Nice!! I always thought it would be nice to have a crochet hook with a flat edge so that it doesn't roll off my lap or surface.
