Oregon Tote FO

Well, it's true. Felting will hide all of your screw-ups. Here is the finished Oregon Tote, (in Brown Sheep Bulky LP Spice and Sunwashed Gold, or something like that, to answer Shannon's question) which I am happy about because I now have something besides a grocery bag to pack projects in. It's shorter and fatter than the sample I saw at Black Sheep, for some reason, but it will serve its purpose.



And also, because I never bothered to post the pic, the Sparkle Hat, with no sparkles, because I'd feel silly wearing anything with sparkles. Matthew is a cuter model than I am, but the hat is mine.



My mom has just informed me that the ballet wrap will indeed make me look fat. This has inspired me to do 2 things:

1. Self Challenge 2005 (I swear I start this every year.)
2. Pick a different project (indecision, indecision...)

And to answer yesterday's question, the book nearest my computer is How Democratic is the American Constitution, by Robert A. Dahl, which I am reading because I have to. I am taking a democracy theory class from Federal Judge Ted Stewart, which is interesting, but would be a lot more fun if I knew more about political theory and less about foreign policy.
