I've always found the combination of linen and Liberty lawn to be pleasing. My latest project has been a set of simple linen bento bags – just like these from last month – except lined in Liberty cotton. The result is a slightly more substantial bag, but a rather aesthetically pleasing one which is perfect for keeping a medium-sized knitting project in order.
I've made a few for my etsy shop but I could also put together a tutorial on making these, if anyone is interested?
Speaking of knitting projects, in the last photo above you can see something I've been working on lately – it's a Spindrift Shawl (designed by Curious Handmade), knitted with beautiful yarn dyed by my friend Nikki. The shawl design is apparently good for beginner-shawl-knitters like me, and if you sign up for the accompanying email workshop series, you can download the pattern for free. (Ravelry link here).

Did you hear Debbie Stoller talking to Kim Hill on RNZ this morning about feminism and knitting, among other interesting things? You can listen to the recording here.
