Listening and Knitting

More vertigo the last few days, hopefully this is the reaction to the Gentamicin and I'll be feeling better soon. In the meantime about all I've been able to do is sleep and listen to audiobooks and knit. I finished the fourth Harry Potter last night and am waiting on the fifth to come in at the library.

The bag I'm making for my sister is nearly done. The pattern is Candy Stripers Messenger/Laptop Bag from Stitch ‘n Bitch Nation by Heather Dixon and the yarn is Cascade Yarns: Cascade 220 Wool. Pre-felting:

Post-felting:

My first felting experience went well! I sewed up the strap but haven't been able to finish it up yet because I need to get a zipper for the top and I haven't left the house in more than a week. I'll post a picture of the finished bag when it's done. More knitting stuff in another post soon...
