Jane Austen weekend

My family and I are going to Jane Austen weekend at the Genesee Country Museum. I am so excited!!! I have watched a few adaptations of her novels over the past few days. 

I started a project from the Jane Austen Knits called Sweetheart Bag. As of right now I finished the edging. 

Here is what it will look like when it is finished.

Good and bad news

Let's start with the bad news. I tried to transfer the photo and it didn't come out the way that I wanted. 

This what I wanted it to look like. 

This is how it turned out. I will do more research and try again, but maybe a different photo. 

Now the good new. I finished the dishcloth. 

I also have got further in the book clutch. I made to "The Snow Queen" and now I want to try to carefully cut the the pages out so I can possibly use it for another project.

Photo transfer

I am trying to transfer a photo onto a canvas by using a gel medium. Now I have to wait 24 hours to see if it worked. Fingers crossed!!!

Book Clutch

I thought that this would be a cool project. I started it a few weeks ago, but I had to work on a shawl. I will get back to it after I finish the dishcloth. Here are a few pictures of how far I got and a link to where I found this project.

What's next?

Right now I am working on a lace scarf and a washcloth. Then I want to find another "big" project.
 

Leaf pattern knit washcloth.

Some possible "big" projects are some things that I found in a magazine called "Jane Austen Knits."
