Oops!

On the January 20 post, I accidentaly made it black when it was supposed to be white after I wrote about the Kiddo yarn in red. I appoligize for that mistake.
About the knitting, I am following a pattern from a little booklet that you can buy at Micheals. Normally it's required yarn is right next to it too. Anyways, so I am knititng a garter stich hat that is supposed to be knitted in Pattons, Divine yarn but I didn't like any of the colors they had so I used this really cool yarn called Black Magic and it is like 2 strands of fluffy yarn, green-blue and black twisted together. It's also really pretty knitted although I almost thoroghly convinced that it would look much better in Stockinette stitch but Oh well. I am following the pattern so I hope it will work. If I like knitting it, then I will knit one for Livi (little sis) in a smaller size.
I am also crocheting a blanket that will probably take a year or so to finished since I am not that good at crocheting.

Pattern for Draw-string bag

Here is the pattern for the draw-string bag. The cool thing about it is that it is exactly the right size for my head so if I knew how to make hats, I could make one for me. Ok. NOTE: READ THE WHOLE SET OF DIRECTIONS BEFORE MAKING THIS PROJECT. Directions:

Supplies:

-DK weight yarn (Not sure about that but...)
-"In-the-round" needles size 5 maybe...I am not sure about all this stuff. I just knit with what I have.
-Yarn needle.
-Another color of yarn for the handle

Instructions:

Cast On 75 stitches. Knit first row. When finished with row, join ends (be sure that when joining ends, that the knitting is not twisted or else you will have to start over to fix it. ((I am serious)) ) Knit in garter stitch until desired length is reached. Your knitting should automaticaly be in stockinette even though you are working in garter. Bind off.
Take yarn needle and sew one end together in second color with flat side of knitting facing the outside of the bag. When done, hide end inside bag. After that, cut 2 pieces of yarn twice the size you want of your handle. put them together and tie one end to a skinny, firm place where you can pull and the yarn will now come off. Once tied on, twist at the other end, (not the end it is tied onto) and keep on twisting until REALLY REALLY REALLY twisted. When satisfied, hold the end while holding the middle (each in 2 different hands)and then fold the end up to the tied end and make sure that you are still holding onto the middle and then once straight, you can let go of the middle.
Note: If you want the piece of yarn to be more twisted, you can always unfold it and twist it more. Untie or cut off the end that is tied to the stick or what ever. After that, tie the ends onto opposite sides of the bag to make the handle.
Once you have made the handle, you have to make another twisted yarn thing in the second color. (Not the body color.) Once you have made it, weave it into the fabric at the top , as if you were doing the running stitch when you are sewing. Then, tie the ends together. Or, you can tie a knot at each of the ends but I tend to find that this does not work as well because the knots sometimes go through the knitting.
Note: Your bag may break and I am not responsible for broken items. It was your choice to make it.

Optional stuff:

Block your piece
Embroider something on the bag
Knit this project in stripes
Knit this in REALLY thin needles to make it even more needle proof
