A Beautiful Holiday Dress

So I'm working on a holiday dress for Belle. I'm working on the front bodice piece right now, I've already finished the back bodice piece. Next comes the sleeves! I have to get a few more baby hats done for charity this month and at least a couple Christmas presents. The holiday dress is fabulous, I love the yarn. I wish that KnitPicks would sell bigger skeins of yarn. I love their yarn (and especially love their prices) but I wish there were an option to buy a bigger skein (twice as big). Less joining and such. I only do small things right now and don't really mind joining with crochet but I've heard that joining in knitting sucks.

Bags

Today at Wal-Mart I found some dark blue bulky yarn at a discounted price, only $1.50 per skein. I got two and I'm going to make an easy peasy crochet bag (I absolutely love that blog!) for my sister. Not a huge one as she's a teenager. I have some purple that I bought eons ago to make grapes but I haven't bought the wooden beads to fill them yet so I'm going to wait on the grapes (I'm going to try and make little puffs filled with poly-fill instead of crocheting around a bead, but I need to figure out the dimensions first) so I'm going to make another bag for my mom.
