A bag's anatomy


Okay, I have been battling a cold (caught from the kids). I think I'm winning the battle! We went for our weekly run to Wally-World (I needed tissues) and then we stopped at Big Lots. Lo and behold they had yarn for $1.00 a skein. Of course could I pass it up? Heck no. So I came home with Bernat yarn. I am not a yarn snob, I can't afford to be one. Anything that can be knitted is knitted on my needles i.e. angora, wool, acrylic, jute, fabric from bulky to lace weight etc. It just doesn't matter to me 'cos I LOVE KNITTING! Last evening I sat on the couch with a nice cup of lemon tea and my tissues and whipped up the red bag while watching Grey's Anatomy. I'm making these for Christmas gifts. I'm still debating on the handles. Any suggestions? By the way who thinks Meredith is going to go back with Derek?

I was thinking about your handles and how about some of those nice tortoise shell looking ones, that would be pretty with it. Bamboo might look good too. I will think some more about it and let you know. It really is very pretty. :)

I hope you are feeling better. So nice to know that your children learned how to share. ;)
Love the bag! I think bamboo handles or straps made with the same yarn would be nice. They are a wonderful gift idea.
I'm catching up on Grey's Anatomy today, so without having seen either of this season's episodes, I think Meredith will go back to Derek. It will make better drama and her romantic decisions in the past have been ..... not the best. It is a fun show. (SO calls it 'chick flick tv'.)
