First of all i couldnt believe it last night when there i sat, knitting in hand when i see a rerun. I had no idea that last night was a repeat episode of GG. Well at least american idol was on. I finished a few projects last night that i am very happy about. I finished a set of fingerless gloves for a friend and a handbag for me. I still have to do the lining on the inside but i am just in love with it. I got this yarn from an estate sale. it was tucked away inside a suit case. 5 hanks of 100% virgin wool in this wonderful shade of green. Its almost a celery color. I toped off this cable knit with a cream colored ribbion. Instead of running the ribbion around the top of the bag i wove it thru the cable down the center of the bag and back around to the other side. I hope you like it as much as i do. I'm trying to get permission to publish the pattern but if i dont hear back i may just set up a link to it on here.
thanks

Very Pretty. You could always felt the bag, then you wouldn't have to sew a lining.
great idea, i dont know why i didnt think about it. That would be perfect for someone like me who has no idea how to sew. Thanks for the compliment and the idea, i'm going to have to give it a try on the next one. if anyone has felted a cable knit before and knows of anything that i may need to know first please let me know so i dont have another felting "incident".
thanks
