A Funky Bag

I get so many comments about this bag.  Everyone seems to love it.



The bag is made from super thick polyester yarn, like the sort of yarn that would be excellent for making a really soft and chunky bath mat.  The yarn is called "Melissa All Sorts" and I purchased it from Lincraft when it was super cheap.

The whole bag took six balls of yarn and it only took me a night to knit it up.  The strap is a little bit long as I didn't account for the fact that it would stretch.  I will undo the strap and shorten it when I am bothered.  For now the strap has a knot in it to make it shorter.  I have been told that the knot in the strap adds character and I should leave it there.  Apparently it makes it look a "uni chick" bag!!!

It is my own crazy design, is super light and is great as an overnight bag.  For the moment I carry my big ball of yarn with my crochet baby blanket that I am making.
