I knitted this bag out of some lilac and white cotton "Colorado" knitting yarn.
I used the I-cord technique to make the string used to tighten and close the bag, and also for the over-the shoulder strap.

I Think My Top Is Finally Finished
This has taken me about 4 weeks to do, which is why I'm not too keen on knitting any more adult size clothes; I'd rather knit some accessories or baby clothes (I'll have to borrow a nipper from one of my neighbours to make sure I have the correct sizes, which is not very practical).
The yarn I have used is Ice Yarn lycra/cotton which feels a bit strange to knit, slightly elastic, which must be coming from the lycra content, and I find it easier to use bamboo knitting needles for this, as it tends to get stuck on metal needles. This yarn slides more easily on bamboo needles.
I am not sure what to do about the neck; should I add something to make it look a bit less like an unfinished item? I was thinking of crocheting a border because I don't have the energy to knit and sew a collar.
The sewing bit is what is stopping me and another issue is that I have no crochet experience, but as always when I want to learn something new, there's always YouTube!
So, what do you think? Should I add some kind of border to the neck or not?
I am aware that the way I'm standing in this picture is making me look like a granny (no offense to grannies); I really need to start doing something about my posture!

My Current Project - Sleeveless Cotton Top
Because I am very fussy with clothes in shops, I am very lucky to be able to knit.
The only thing is that knitting for an adult takes time. I started this top 2 weeks ago and it took me a week and a half to finish the first side. I am trying to knit for about 2 hours every night, and sometimes I can manage a bit more on week-ends and on days when I am not working.
I am not following any pattern, as, being very fussy, I thought I might as well make my own. Hopefully I will be able to wear this soon, more than likely over a long-sleeved T-shirt if we get an other Irish summer!
