The bag is finished.  I heard there was a KAL on knitty and I’ll have to go check it out, I am still mystified about the stitchmarker placement for starting the handles.  It was easy to figure out where to put the handles, but I don’t get why I couldn’t make it work following the pattern.  I am happy with the bag, though.  I do have 2 places where the openwork got off just on one stitch and isn’t it funny how it doesn’t show until you are taking it’s picture?

I have started another one.  I got finished with the bottom of the bag and realized I forgot to do the increases and decreases so the bottom won’t be shaped, but it didn’t bother me enough to rip it all out.  I am going to make this one a little bit smaller even though I think this one is a great size.  I am just thinking about window shopping and carrying the bigger bag.  Great pattern!

The SP12 question for week #3 is:

What would you consider the perfect amount of stash? 

How in the world do you answer that?  I think the perfect amount of stash is when you are satisfied with it.  I think the answer might be never, so I plan never to feel like I’ve achieved the perfect stash and just build and use to my heart’s content.    Is that even an answer?   lol
