Marie liked her Christmas present so much that she asked me to make her another bag, this time in lighter colors. My LYS didn't have the particular shade of Kureyon I had in mind for it, but I think this one turned out well. I stranded it w/some Patons Classic Wool Merino in Camel from my stash.
For some reason, this one was coming out smaller, so I went up a needle size and added rows in the "knit __ rows plain" sections. Unfortunately, b/c of the light color of the Patons, I had to felt it a little extra for it to be dense enough, so despite the extra size, it ended up smaller. Oh, well. I still think it turned out well.

As you can see, it shrank A LOT, but that's OK. I hope she likes it. I enjoyed making it; it was a good palate-cleanser after knitting the not-slouchy-enough hat.
