Another one for the State Fair. Rebel Alliance bag. I improvised the bag pattern, and used the Rebel Alliance Insignia chart from here: http://www.angelfire.com/space2/swcharts/knit.html

 I used up some more of the horrid 70s color scheme yarn from Willow Ridge. I thought the 70s coloring was appropriate for the Star Wars theme, anyway. I really like how this bag turned out, and might make more Star Wars themed bags to go with it. I could have a whole line-up of them, lol. X-wings, Death Star, Darth Vader, Yoda…

I actually knit two of these, identical to each other. The first one, I made for my friend Abby, and included it as part of my Unexpected Crafty Gifting task for my 101 Things project.

The second one, I made for me, but I am entering it into the State Fair, so I have not worn it. After I got it all done, I noticed a fairly glaring mistake, but I wasn’t about to go back and fix it at that point, so I’m guessing it’s not going to do too well at the Fair. Ah, well.

Have I mentioned that I own a goat? Well, I do. Ginger lives on a farm nearby, where she is cared for lovingly and where she treats the other farm animals like the underlings they clearly are.

And I’ve recently given cheese making a try. I wrote about it over at Boulevard Farm, my new Urban Homesteading blog.
