Rather Huge Carpetbag....nice!

Ever since I laid eyes on this pattern I have wanted to knit the bag. Exactly as shown in the picture too. I could not think of one thing to make it better, and as a huge Mary Poppins fan this was just practically perfect in every way!

This is pre-felting, and I will add that was giant. I knit it in the car while my son was driving. SO easy! Totally a beginner thing, in the round, straight up to the top. I had to be able to keep an eye on the road and knit away without paying much attention to what my hands were doing. This was the perfect project for that. By the time we came home I had a bag to felt.

Another day to knit the flower and put it all together and I have a nice bag for MORE knitting projects, or for traveling. I am not happy with the handles so ignore those. I am waiting for the ones I really want to come back in stock.
