Today is a day to accomplish... i have officially decided. I have a list of things that must be done and i feel more compelled to complete them now than before. Partically because i have this sense of urgency that comes from the more constant and frequent braxton hicks contractions i have been feeling daily for the last few weeks. I am a few days short of being 36 weeks, my next Dr. appt is on the 13th and starting that week i will be going every week. So it's exciting yet terrifying, thus the root of my motivation to get things done Before.

Ok i have been working on a second bag that was made with the same cable stitching as the pink. But i used a fat wool yarn this time so it's a bigger piece, and i actually took the width of the pattern down... it's still big but i like it that way. Here is a pic of ONE side of it lol, i need to get another skein for the yarn to make the other side. I went ahead and attached the handle to this side to get a feel for the size. it's big. the handles are from a vintage bag i got from a thrift store a few years ago but i couldn't get the old grandma's attic smell out of the bag so i cut it off and kept the handles. They are about an 8" diameter.
I know it looks a little crazy right now but it will look better once it's put together :D Unless of course you just don't like big bags haha.
I am still going back and forth about lining it or not... i probebly will so i can add maybe a zipper pocket to the inside. I need to come up with some little sew in labels, but i am not sure how to go about it without breaking the bank lol.

Haha wow that's really creative...I've heard of basic scarfs and such from knitting, but bags? Awesome. Hurry hurry go go before "you-know-what" happens ;-) Then post pics of the final for us to see, of course.
