forget the turtle

Well I have had to scrap the idea of a turtle blanket. It seems where I live it is impossible to locate Barbara Walkers Third Treasury in person. I tried 5 yarn shop and 2 major booksellers and no one has it. This means a) I could order it online and knit like crazy or b) forget the whole idea and start something else. I went with b. I have a few burp cloths and baby bibs knit already so I think I will knit the stuffed turtle pattern on knitty.com. I did finish the body of my sisters felted bag yesterday and the handles will be done today. I hope to finish it tonight and felt tomorrow. No knitting on ariann which is sad. I am loving the pattern. Plus it is all for me so it is selfish knitting.
