Candy!
I have to stop making Fair Isle bags.
This needs a couple of rounds in the washing machine to felt it, but it's basically finished. All yarn that I spun meself. You might recognize some of the blues from the kestrel bag, but probably not.
The pattern is from Wendy's Fearless Fair Isle, from the basic bottom up bag pattern I have that I really should publish somewhere, as I am fabulous. =) I had originally intended to do five panels, but I realized that the three was closer to what I wanted from a bag.
Handles and a lining I already have - handles are here, but lining is in DC, so I need to wait a bit. But this is a good shape because of what I use.
Also, my parents recently went to LA to take the little brother off to college. As a result, they brought me apple mentos!
If you're confused about why I'm blogging about candy, it's simple. When I was in 8th grade, I went to France with my mother and my French class. I found apple mentos. Since I've always enjoyed fake apple taste, I greatly enjoyed them. I took a couple of rolls home. I think one even lasted past the plane ride.
Then I discovered... they don't exist in America. Really. So then, four years later, when my little brother and my father went to France, they brought me back six rolls of apple mentos (I'd made repeated, heated requests). I think those lasted a week.
Apparently, seasonal versions of the mentos live. Much like the strawberry only rolls of mentos. They exist but are rarely seen.
