Still working on the SOAR silk spindle bag. In fact, I
There are some things I really like about this bag. In particular I like the combination of colorwork at the top and the rest of the bag being the natural colored silk. I am really pleased with the colorwork part in general. 
However, there is a lot that could be improved on this. I should have added an eyelet row through which I could have placed a drawstring. The bag could be a little wider. And the some of the white silk that I spun on my wheel is a bit overtwisted; the resulting fabric is a bit stiff. I have enough of both the dyed and the natural colored silk to make another one. So I have decided to count this as a test run and keep it for myself. Then I would make another, better version to donate to SOAR.

My knitting time has been severely curtailed lately due to work. Classes end soon, so maybe more time in the future!
