Completed market bag


I did it!   The body of the bag I wasn't worried about, it was the handle.  It has an applied I-cord.  It turns out, I-cords aren't very difficult.  Who knew?  The kids are fighting over the bag right now and making lists of colors they want them in.  It didn't really take very long to do either.  We went  and got some more yarn, but need to find different colors somewhere else.

I'm sorry that I haven't been writing much lately, life has been getting in the way.  I'll be posting more soon.  Still working on the garden expansion and lots of other things.

ooo, I love it!! I don't know how to knit or crochet. Not for lack of trying mind you. That's why all my market bags are sewn, LOLOL

Looks beautiful! Wish I could do something like that but I don't have enough patience. -Jackie

Thanks ladies. I can't crochet very well, so I was very happy to find a knit version.

That is a great looking bag! Well done.

Looking forward to hearing how the garden expansion project is going.

Oooh, Aahhh. Love it! Can't wait to see how the other's turn out with the different colors, but I think I like the cream. Reminds me of Irish Fishermen sweaters. A classic. I bet they're easy to wash when they get dirty, too. I've never knitted, but maybe I can convince you to do some tutoring? Another class perhaps?....Terrie
