This knitted bag has been sitting unfinished for I would say a year now. The reason it was unfinished is because I wanted to sew a lining into it. Not do-able without a sewing machine really.
Fast forward a year, one sewing machine later and voila!
I decided to sew a bit of material onto the straps also as they would stretch goodo without anything supporting them.
I put a pocket in (!!)
And feel quite pleased with the way it turned out.
I’m not totally sure its the right material for the lining, I think it clashes a bit, but its done now and I’m not going back and ripping it out!!
Specs: Noro Blossom bag from one of the Noro books, think it may be just Noro
Yarn: Noro Blossom, 3 skeins I think
Needle size: Can’t remember
Material: Picked up at one of my local op shops. Love it.
Well done, Sara! Gives me great incentive to dig through the unfinished projects sitting in the cupboard!

Very nice! I don’t have the patience for all that sewing, so I’m impressed!

How pretty! If you decide you don’t like the lining, I will be happy to give it a good home …

your bag turned out so nice! i love all the colors. i don’t think the fabric clashes, it’s a nice contrast to the exterior yarn, like a surprise inside!
