Yesterday, as I was waving goodbye to Jaya, Dean tore out of the front door. He does this on occasion, and comes back shortly, but it wasn't until I was actually leaving for work that he came back inside. There I was, armed with a can of catfood to lure him in after I had dumped my stuff in the car, and he just pranced inside. So I went and dumped, and came back to give him the catfood anyway.Last night, when we returned home after our Argentine Tango lesson (maybe my feet aren't both left ones, after all), I heard a ruckus in the office, and as I opened the front door, Dean raced out. Marilyn ran from me once I was inside. I opened the front door twice, and each time, Dean took off again. He's usually the calm one! He came back inside when Jaya came in, and a little while later, while we were sitting on the couch, we felt a small tremor. Aha! THATs what had them spooked! I have always heard stories about animals and earthquakes, but this was my first actual experience with it.
The entrelac works! I had read over the instructions, and I just couldn't envision how this was going to work, but it does! I made a triangle! Look!
Now I just have to make 9 more, and then we start the colored diamonds. This will be interesting! It's all so loose now, but the felting will fix that. I hope it tightens up enough to be a thick-walled bag.

The bag is terrific. You have done a lot on it in a short time. I had to look up "intrelac" and have an idea now of what it is.
What is the yarn you are using for Jaya's socks? It is so beautiful. I would like to get some like that, or sort of like it.
Now I have to choose an identity - hmmmmmm
I got the yarn for Jaya's socks at the Knitting convention I went to in March. I have foolishly lost the wrapper, so I don't know what the brand is!
I believe it is fingering weight 75% wool and 25% nylon. If I find out who makes it, I'll let you know.
Your website has a useful information for beginners like me.
