~: Lucy Bag - Day 2 :~

Oh how a project can get under your skin!
Last night I couldn't put the beginnings of my bag down, and went to bed 6 rounds further on... today after another 4 rounds, this is how it looks now

Since this photo I have added the last increase round, and I am about to crochet the first round that will be the beginnings of the body of the bag.
As you can see it is going to be very colourful... I'm not sure I entirely like all the colours that much, so I think 3 of them may not appear as much as the rest!
I think I have made a good choice of yarn with the Patons Linen Touch DK... it crochets nicely, and is quite sturdy with a good definition. With hindsight I think maybe I should have used a size smaller hook as Lucy did with the original bag to make a tighter "knit". But as I intend to line it (as many others have done over on the Attic24 group on Ravelry I don't think it will matter too much.

I still have quite some way to go... with maybe up to 24 more rounds, it'll keep me busy for some time yet!

Alot of the rest of the day was spent sorting Adams bedroom some more.
Last weekend James built his new bed; today he put together an Ikea Expedit shelving unit. Then it was time to move most of his toys back in, and move out a few of the ones he no longer plays with.

Then Adam said something that made me smile so much:
"Today has been like a dream." He said it with such happiness and a such a big beaming grin, that I nearly cried! I gave him the hugest hug. x
