Here's my latest WIP, another Sophie Bag done with Paton's Classic Merino in Denim Marl. I wanted to see if I could do a much better job than I did on my last one/first one. I got the body of the bag done in about 24 hours (minus sleeping, eating, surfing etc.) but I have a feeling the rest will take a little longer. I was about 3 inches into making the first I-cord and realized that I must try something different because I was getting that unsatisfied feeling. Why keep going when you're feeling that way. So I ripped all the way back to the last row. After doing a bit of math, I decided that I would do a seed stitch (flat) strap, and even add a front flap. Now I have to go out and buy 9" size 10.5 knitting needles (my knitting tools arsenal is small). It'll be slow going doing k1, p1, k1, p1....but I'm too curious to see how it'll turn out. Oh and I definately need another skein of Patons.

My only fear is that it will turn out to be a small purse. I still haven't gotten a grip on that, whether I should knit double stranded, or bigger needles/more yardage (more money!). The only way to find out is to just do it!
