Some double happiness!
I've put some finishing touches on a bag design I've been working on using Lamb's Pride. I used three colors, Medieval red, slate gray, and old sage. I think they really go well together. I knit the bottom flat and then picked up stitches and knit the bag in the round using size 11 circs. There's a pocket that I added on the back, and the Chinese symbol for Double happiness that I knitted into the front panel using intarsia, a first for me. I also added a button hole closure. Overall, I'm quite happy with it. It fits a medium knitting project quite nicely. I enjoyed charting up the double happiness symbol so much, I'm thinking of doing other symbols like love, joy, luck, etc. I have one last thing I'm going to do which is to cover a piece of cardboard with some denim to firm up the bottom, then it'll be all done.

I had a dream about you the other night. In it a troll with bright orange hair and orange nail polish (he liked orange) left a package on your doorstep.

Wow, the bag is really cool! I'm super impressed that you knit the character for double happiness. Nice job!!!
I like the double happiness, but I'm sad that it was obsecured during the felting process. Maybe you could embroider over it?
nifty cool design!
You did a great job with that bag. Your kitty seems to approve of it too!
That's a great design and the colors are wonderful. I really like the handle you chose for it, too. I'd like one just like it!
