Last night, I got to sit down and start Marta McCall's, Bucket Bag, again.
I was knitting away on Sunday and knew in my heart that I must be using needles that were smaller than required but I was really enjoying knitting the bag and I didn't want to stop. So when I sat down last night, I looked at the bag again, and admitted to myself the needles were way too small and I started again with the correct needles.
The yarn is Cascade 220, knitting with two strands. And the colors are pretty much the colors you see, bright red and navy. I am ordering the fabric lining on e-bay. For some reason I am obsessed with having this cherry fabric lining.
And after some searching around the web, I found the red leather handles on a site called www.joggles.com.
This is my first real attempt at making a felted bag that I will actually use and I am confident I can complete it and take it with me to Stitches. Will keep you posted.
