Etsy Fast August Challenge

Read about the Etsy Fast (Fiber Arts Street Team) August challenge on their home page: http://www.etsyfast.com/ . At the moment, my entry, which I called my Dreamy Blue bag is featured there.

Day two:

By the way, I love bamboo double pointed needles. These are Takumi by Clover, from Japan. They are so smooth and yet the stitches don't slip off the ends when knitting like so many other DP needles.
