Wow it is almost Thanksgiving

Where does time go? I have done quite a bit of knitting recently, but only have these 2 pictures to show. One is the bag in progress and the other is an almost finished photo with the bag blocking on a cardboard form. I still have to make the straps and line it with fabric. I love color knitting with the palette yarn.
Pattern: Sipalu Bag from Knitpicks
Yarns: warm colorway alternate colors
Needle: Knitpicks 2.25mm circular and dpns
Finished size: 9" x 11" x 2"

The other knitting projects have been swatches for a fingerless mitt pattern I am designing for some friends who have a revolutionary war era re-enactment store. I hope to either knit up several pairs for them to sell or at least produce a pattern for them to sell. I have taught both of them to knit and so we might just knit up a bunch. This will only happen if I get a pattern designed that will work easily. I have never designed or written a pattern before, so this is a bit of a challenge.
