And So It Grows//WIP Wednesday

Last Thursday we spent the afternoon in St Andrews - which is one of my favourite places; especially for hunting in the charity shops. I always have a look at their bags because some of my favourites came from charity shops. So what did I happen upon? This pretty little knitting bag, it's big enough for a small project (or two) and it's super cute. I love thinking about how much it was used before it was mine:
 This past week I've spent alot of time working on my fair isle piece; so everything else has kind of taken a back seat - except this:
That's right my crochet blanket is getting even bigger, it's so big that positioning it well so I can crochet is king of proving to be difficult - any tips? I'm now on skein 3; so just 3 more to go - I love seeing this project grow and the subtle colour changes. I would normally link to my project on Ravelry, but there appears to be some kind of glitch getting on there this morning!
What are you working on this week? I'm playing along with Tami and Ginny, as always I encourage you to go check their blogs out and play along.

    I usually just tend to lay them on my lap as I crochet along the part that I am crocheting. I love all the colours that are in your blanket :)

    I swear, I'm never lucky enough to stumble on goodies like your project bag when I'm at the thrift shop. Your afghan is looking really beautiful and cozy. :-D

    Gorgeous blanket! I have no tips on how to deal with the growing mass - it can be cumbersome and annoying can't it? Good thing the colours are so pretty!

    Wow!! That blanket is going to be super cozy!
    I agree with you: the little knitting bag is a little treasure chest, worthy of the knitting pirates and princesses!
