Finished bag photo teaser......




Here is the finished photos of my bag. One of the design features that you can't see is that I put in a grommet on the side of the bag. This is so that if she wants to use the bag as a knitting bag she can keep her yarn inside the tote run the working yarn outside the bag to knit with if she wants to. I thought that would maybe be a neat feature that would keep the yarn from perhaps tangling especially if she was doing color work. As you can see the bag has especially long handles so she can carry it across her body if she wants to. It's got a nice sturdy bottom and a heavy rim so it stands up fairly well on its own.

I hope she likes it.

Cool bag. I like how the handles match the colors in the body of the bag, that really adds to it. I'm sure your pal will love it!

The grommet is a cool idea. I love the way the handles transition colors!

Are grommets hard to do? They add a really nice professional touch.

The grommets are soooo simple. If you can use a hammer, you can do grommets.
