Notes

Finished bag, decided to change straps and cable instead.
Cast on 10 stitches and K3 cabled 2&2 K3.
Finished straps and decided I think it’s to much, might try leather straps instead. Trying to decide on buttons too..

Decided to buy bag from Vinnies and repurpose handles instead of the ones I’d bought…….now how to attach…..

Picked up 5 stitches and knitted 16 rows in garter stitch.
Attached strap and joined knitted strap end to bag. Now to pick a lining……

Chose a black and white owl print I had leftover in my stash. In a rush to get this done as I wanted to take with me on a weekend away. I handsewed the lining in a rush and it shows. Having said that, I love this bag. It will be my go to bag.
