Another UFO Bites the Dust (in a good way)

Finally finished with my second Positano Tote! I had terrible procrastinationitis about the lining, but finally just made myself do it this weekend. I brought it to work today, full of all my normal purse stuff plus my newest knitting project (photo below). I love that it stands up by itself and holds so much.

Pattern: Positano Tote from Interweave Knits, Winter 2008 issue
Yarn: Wool of the Andes in Avocado, double stranded
Needles: US7 and US9, 32" circulars so I could knit both the front and back at the same time

My newest project - in Gloss DK! (And, yeah, those are the new Zephyr Options needles too!) I already love knitting with this yarn - so silky and shiny. I'm really excited to see how it does in argyle stranded knitting.

Pattern: Nederland Vest from KnitScene, Fall 2008 issue
Yarn: Gloss DK (not up on our site yet, but here's the Ravelry info page)
Needles: US5 Zephyrs 24" circulars (not on our site yet either, but coming soon - I promise!)

I had a small heart attack thinking about the wait!! These needles look beautiful (as do your projects) and I'm excited to see reviews from others once they are available.

Comment by cellogirl on July 14, 2009 at 12:13pm: The tote is georgeous--great job --now to find the old Interweave!! You must have used a hefty stabilizer or interfacing to get that much body in the knitting? Please--some secrets--thanks for the heads-up on the needles, they look great!!

Comment by kristine on July 14, 2009 at 11:45am: Beautiful purse, I really like how it turned out. You said you lined it - did you use some fun fabric inside? :)

Comment by Patty Foley on July 14, 2009 at 10:37am: OMG! Tiiiiina, I loooooooove that purse!!!! I so have to make one! How would one go about getting previous issues of Interweave Knits?

Comment by Tina on July 14, 2009 at 8:33am: I made a major booboo by talking about these needles so early! They will be available in early August. Next week (not this week) on the podcast, Kelley and I talk in greater detail about the needles.

Comment by giraffe81840 on July 14, 2009 at 8:23am: I must know when these needles are going to be available so I can be at the head of the line. They sound wonderful as all KnitPick needles are.
