From Suzette: I couldn't resist posting this photo! This is Jasmine modelling my finished Lunch Bag Carryall. Last night I stitched on the handles, the loop and a knot, and I'm so happy with it.

I felted the bag in Mum's top loader, which positively beat the living daylights out of the bag (and the mesh lingerie bag it was in). I could have let it be at one wash cycle (12 mins) but decided to go another. So now I have a super solid bag that shrunk from 60cm in length to 32cm. I initially wanted a soft bag that would hold my knitting projects, but I think the Lunch Bag Carryall is better being a bit stiffer. Guess I'll just have to make another bag for my knitting - I think this one will be an all purpose tote. It deserves to be taken out of the house! (she says proudly :-)
