which somehow ended up being "three for my partner, and three for me" in one of my Craftster swaps. No regrets though! These projects have been on my to-do list for awhile, and I'm really thankful for the chance to get them done!
1. Slouchy Bag (Cindy Taylor Oates pattern)
The black/white one's mine, while my partner requested a bag in various shades of green for her mama. The instructions that came with the pattern was incredibly wordy and a bit confusing *sigh* That and I find out that making your own binding and installing them brings out the worst in me :P
2. Dotted Dream Purse (free pattern from Ottobre Design)
Another project that I've been wanting to tackle for ages! The red, white, blue purse is for my swap partner (she picked those colours), while the green purse will be a gift for a friend (who shall remain unnamed...for now). I love the handles for this purse, and I'm already thinking of ways to incorporate that design into my other purse-making endeavours!!! 
3. Stalks and Blossoms Scarf (free pattern from The Purl Bee blog)
The colour description on the tag for the yarn read "Dark Teal" but in reality, the colour is more like a "Dark Foliage Green". This simple lace pattern was a fun and easy knit, and yes, I ended up making two scarves with the same colours because I fell in love with the colour while working on my partner's scarf.
