It’s a handle without a bag. After emailing Polly (the designer of the French Market Bag), who was gracious enough to send me a very helpful answer, I decided to order a fourth skein of the Cold Harbour Mill yarn so as to make a taller bag. Even with the extra skein my plan is to use every last scrap of yarn, so I am knitting the handles first and will then knit the body until there is no yarn left. I am finding this yarn quite easy to knit and the colours are lovely. I don’t see myself ordering it again because it doesn’t seem special enough to get from overseas when Jo Sharp yarn is available locally for the same price or less, but I will certainly enjoy using it this time.

Speaking of yarn from overseas reminds me that I never mentioned how much I LOVED using the Lambs Pride Worsted for my Booga Bag. I loved the feel of it and I really like both the colours I have received so far, particularly the Khaki that the guys at Thread Bear chose for me. There was something about the combination of the colour and texture of the Khaki that made it just so comforting to play with and knit up.
