May is one of my favourite months in the year. Winter is truly behind us, the sun is warmer, the birds are really noisy in the mornings and Summer is only round the corner...
I know since yesterday who my bag pal is for the Big Bag Swap (the one I will be making a bag for...). But I don't know who will create a bag for me! Somehow, now that the cards are on the table, I am getting nervous. But I'll get over it, I am sure. The deadline is 31st June so the pressure is not too bad. I am onto the finishing details for the knitted bag (I am sticking to my original plan of making two bags and pick the best). I am very pleased so far with the way it is growing. I have started from an idea in my head and improvise as I go along. I am not sure it is the right way to proceed when you create something, but it is working...
May Project Spectrum's colour is green and I already know what I'll be making. Once again a fairly quick project which should be finished before the week is over. May is going to be a very busy month!
wow! a bag swap. sounds like so much fun. and not to mention the possibilities of bags you can make and will receive!

Deadline end June is good - so you'll be able to take a look at the bag book before deciding. Can't wait to see the knit bag, especially since it's going to be a uniquely created one-of-a-kind bag. So there's going to be lots of green going on in blogland for May. It's quite fun following the spectrum, even though I'm not taking part.

You have plenty of time, don't worry! I might just knit something green this month, it's quite a trendy colour at the moment, lots of girls wearing it in London.

It is nice to create something with just a plan in mind. Please post the photos of your bags, I would love to see them. I made a bag last year, I started with a pattern then decided to go in a slightly different direction (ie: the bottom from one pattern and the top from another with a little of myself added here and there).
