A Thing-a-long?

There are many, many things I love about knitting, well about making things of all kinds, but today we shall have a knitting post. The first thing that I love about it is that there is always more to learn. Even if you've been doing it for years, you could pick up a book and find something completely new to learn. But we're not talking about that one today.
Another thing I love about knitting is it's potential. You can take a crappy old sweater, rip it apart,

dye it with kool-aid,

reknit it (that shoe is a size 8 women's shoe just to show you how freaking big it was before felting),

and felt it into something completely new and groovy (minus the handle which needs some serious reworking....I had a little ~felting problem with it and so far the tweaking has been tweaked).


That kind of transformation just never ceases to delight me. So I had an idea the other night as I was messing with this:

It's a case for this weird little not-palm-pilot-not-lap-top thing I have:

I thought I would just keep adding stuff to it. Whatever....crochet, knit, applique, whatever struck my mood and see what happens. it needs more padding anyway, and it needs to be a lot cooler than it is (this is the other side):

I'm wondering if anyone else wants to do it with me? You could just knit a shell of something...a bag, a case for something, a scarf...whatever...and then over the course of the next few months, add whenever you feel inspired and post the progression on your blog? If enough people want to do it, I'll make a section in the sidebar for participants in the uh....Thing-a-long. I just think it would be SO cool! But there's a chance that I'm just a total freak in the middle of nowhere right now, and that would be ok (since its not the first time 'n all)! I'll still show you updates on my thing. Drop me a comment if you want to do it.
