Noro Bag #2

Me no likey.

For once I was able to really capture the colors. Of course, you can't even tell what I have knit.

This bag has been most frustrating. First of all, as I said, I stupidly knit all the pretty pink and red colors (under my thumb) on the bottom of the bag. The sides are all blues and brown. Then my skeins of Noro didn't line up, so I was having to rip through them to keep in the colorway.

Then I knit an inside pocket. Bad idea. Too heavy. No wonder nobody does it. No biggie, I just cut it out, and you can't tell it was ever there.

My handles are great, though still too flimsy in my opinion. Next time I would do two of them, and twist them so they lay flat. Now that would be sturdy, don't you think? The 7 stitch double i-cord just isn't very big.

Although they're centered over the end stitches, my handles always seem to pull to one side. It's very frustrating, and make the bag look home made.

I've shaved this sucker, pulled on it, pushed on it. Now I'm throwing it back in the wash to shrink the hell out of it. Perhaps it will come out better.
