It actually knit up pretty easily (once I stopped being a goober). I did attempt to knit it in the round at first, however the pattern doesn’t completely lend itself to being knit in the round. It leaves a weird seam that doesn’t look as good as when it is properly seamed. :) I finished up all the weaving in of ends while I our power was out on Sunday. Good timing, eh?

I love the detail in the bottom of the bag.

The top of the bag has an eyelet row for the icord straps and has a turned hem. I quite like the technique.

Yesterday I received my gift from my wonderful swap partner. She definitely took a lot of time and put a lot of thought into putting my package together. For only having written one another a few times she definitely hit the nail on my interests. (Now see, this proves that I am not as hard to shop for as the boy thinks!) :) Without further ado, a photo montage:

Thank you so very much for my wonderful gift. :) I hope to start using it all soon. Especially those socks the next time I go on a business trip! (Someday I will have to tell you all about me doing yoga poses at a wedding reception to try and stretch out cause my knee was bothering me…) :)

Tuesday I mailed my swap partner’s package and it should hopefully arrive today. If she happens to be reading my blog here’s a teaser… :)

Note, not all items are included in this image! ;)
