International Tote Exchange II

I'm excited about a new Exchange I'm in - the International Tote Exchange II. Apparently, their last one was a wonderful success. I know that most people are knitters but I only crochet which is okay under their rules, too. I LOVE felting totes, since they just turn out so amazing.

Our partners will be announced Monday, and I can't wait. I hope to get mine from someone internationally - it's always so interesting to see what other parts of the world are doing.

Cheers -

Preparing for State Fair

Nothing exciting to report. I'm hard at work finishing two exchange items (they just need mailing), and redoing some items I'm submitting to the State Fair. I said I'd enter a Spider Shrug, so now I have to make one! This morning, I only had one sleeve to go and frogged the whole thing because my gauge was off - it was huge! So, I had to pick up a little more of the second choice yarn. Pictures soon.

On My Hook for August:

-Spider Shrug in Medium Pink Flash: just finishing the sleeves, cuffs and collar
-Unseamly Sweater from SnB: blue silkey tweed, need to finish sleeves by Tuesday
-Freeform Purse: shades of white/cream, to finish by Tuesday
-The Butterfly Shawl CAL has started without me
-Have the yarn and pattern for the Crystal Lace Bolero CAL

Wish me luck - I'm gonna need it!!
Happy hooking!
