Just to prove that I really am still plodding on through Death By Cables:
The back and front are done. This is the first sleeve. It's about a third of the way done. I have stuck to my vow to the Knitting Goddess not to cast on any new projects until I finish this...I mean, if you don't count socks, or the Great Green Glob. Speaking of which...
Here is the G-cubed prior to felting. That's me holding it. This is one freakin' huge bag.
And here it is after felting. It's like magic. It's still pretty big, but after multiple trips through the washer, it is dense enough to stop bullets, and I just don't think it's going to felt any more. I got a huge kick out of knitting this, which was a sort of
knitting joke. And who doesn't love a good knitting joke, after all?

The Green Gob is one hell of a lovely joke--nice work!!
I've never wanted to knit a felted bag before. Until now. It is gorgeous!!!
I love Knitting for Peace! Amazingly enough, the author grew up in the next little town north of us, Luck, Wisconsin, and her mother still lives there. Another friend and I had lunch with the author last fall when she was here.
Great bag, and great knitting joke!
