For the Hips

Lately I seem to be spending more time with belly dance and thus less with knitting so I thought why not combine the two. Ok, so not knitting while dancing, but knitting a dance item to clarify.

Hip scarf in progress

Here we have the beginnings of my new hip scarf! It’s a bit further along now than this photo (I’m behind, re: above). The pattern is the Faux Spanish Lace shawl (Raverly download) that I plan to knit to a size that ties around my waist. The edge will be finished off with beads and tassels as well. I love the color of this yarn, a great thrift store find. It’s the same I used for my zill covers, matchiness!

The Bad-Ass Bowler Bag

The weekend before last I was lucky enough to take a class at the DFW Fiberfest – “Photograph Finished Items & Fiber” from the wonderful Franklin Habit. It was just what I needed as my Nikon D80 and I have had a slow start to our relationship. I feel we understand each other better now. Bonus was I got to use my lovely B-day gift (thanks Sis!) this awesome camera bag from Photojojo. While my standard bag is great if I need to carry all my gear, not so much if I want to take it somewhere casual and not look like a wedding photographer.

  1. i have that same bag! i freaking LOVE IT!!!!
    glad the class you took at fiber fest was good. I was sorry i missed out. :(

  2. That is one sexy bag! Love the hip shawl too!

  3. what a great idea!! I completely agree, that’s a fantastic colour.

  4. I saw your bag at the fiber fest! lol I pointed it out to a friend and we even told friends about it after we got home. I thought it was the cutest purse ever…..didn’t know it was a camera bag!

  5. I love the color of that yarn and that bag rocks!

  6. wow, those pictures are amazing !
