This is the last post about the bag. I promise.
Since I decided this was not going to be a purse-type bag but more of a project-carrying-type bag, I wanted to make different handles. I ended up modifying this pattern to make them a bit longer so it would be easy to carry over the shoulder. I also slip stitched the tubes around some cord to prevent them from stretching.
The making of the handles involved a bit of wrestling with yarn and hook to get some snug fits around the cord, but I am happy with the way they turned out.
It is so lovely, I believe you will be getting request for making some more as gifts 🙂
That does seem to happen. I’m afraid to post a photo onto facebook just for that reason.

Super cute!
Thanks! It was worth all the ripping out I had to do to get the stitch counts right. 🙂
That bag is gorgeous!!! Great job.
Thanks! I surprised myself with this one.
