Asalam Alaikum,
I have finally finished the bag that I was working on-
If I make another bag, I am definitely going to make the handle first, for this bag all the pieces worked up really fast except the handle. It was kind of repetitive and I would do a couple rows then get bored. It was totally worth the wait though, I really like this bag.
Pattern-Tasha, from Knitty
Yarn-Plymouth Yarn Fantasy Naturale Solid, which was left over from my February Lady Sweater
Needles-US 5
Modifications-I did not make the sides or the bottom ribbed, I lined it with interfacing and a printed cotton fabric.
I like it a lot, it works really well as a project bag for my WIPs.
