I haven't posted up a knitting update in a while. So, I wanted to share a little bit of what I've been up to. Last week, I talked to my sister Leth who I shall now and always refer to as The Shaolin Master of Knitting (because she is a knitting force of nature), about my dissatisfaction with the knitting bag I've been using. I haven't been thrilled with the look of it, and those sneaky knitting needles keep sliding out!! Uuugghhhh!! (Insert Asian grimace HERE).
So, I turned to my lovely sister and said, "Um, Shaolin Master of Knitting, what in the world should I do?"
She suggested that we do an online search for some cool knitting bags. (Great idea, huh? She's The Master for a reason.) I was racking my Asian brain over what I wanted--maybe something with an elephant (so cute) or a koala bear (I LOVE KOALA BEARS!!) on it, or something that was piano-esque . . .
Then, as we poured over several prospects, I remembered that I am a huge Transformers fan (even though I thought the last movie was a colossal, stinky man-turd). The Shaolin Master of Knitting then plugged in a search for Transformer bags. There were several that were just too gaudy and tacky. Finally, after about oh ten minutes or so, The Master said "AHA!!! chowchunghetooomng pa, NYE, NYE!!!!!", and there it was. Destiny made manifest!!! I found what was to be the freaking coolest of knitting bags!!! I ordered it immediately, and it just flew in a couple of days ago.
Wait for it. Wait for it . . . .
TADA!!!!!

More Than Meets the Eye!!!!!!!!!! It's not just a bag. It's a knitting bag!!! This means that I can safely transport my knitting projects everywhere with the watchful eye of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and all of those other clunky, gun-weilding, thingy-majigees.
So awesome!!!!
Now, on with the knitting. Lately, I've been back to knitting scarves. Wonderful, beautiful scarves!!! This is one of a series that I am working on . . .

Here's another one I finished. It has a basket weave pattern . . .

Here's another red basket weave scarf that I made for my dear friend Darrell out in Charlotte, NC. It took me FOREVER to finish.

Then of course, there's this hat I haven't finished. I'm dreading the end of it because it requires that I switch out the needles on them to these super teensy-tiny ones. I'm gonna try to finish this one soon.

By the way, my sister, The Shaolin Master of Knitting, has a great blog of her own. Check it ooot right here:

So, that's it folks. I've got more scarves to finish up before I start on what I hope to be my first shawl.
Who says men don't knit?
