I have spent the past three years knitting birthday scarves and felted purses for each of the 72 staff members at my library. I have tried to use a different yarn, technique or stitch with each scarf. I have included patterns for the scarves on my blog. When this project is done I'll start to knit more ambitious projects.

Lots of Felt Purses
Since I finished "The Scarf Project" I've been busy with other projects. I've made two sweater vest for myself and many cotton towels for my kitchen. Since November I've been working my way through the book Pursenalities: 20 Great Knitted And Felted Bags.
I've made five purses so far. Here's one I finished Sunday. It was a birthday gift for a colleague.
The projects in this book are so great that I plan to make them all - some for myself and some as gifts. They actually look odd before they are felted because they're so much bigger than the finished product.
I highly recommend this book.
