I’m so glad this is done (aside from needing lining).. I started it last summer and just sat on it for a looong time. I even used the yarn for a few other projects as well… and I still have tons of it left, even after finishing the bag

I decided it would have a wild side, and a more muted side.. since I plan on wearing it messenger style, that sort of makes it reversable! I used gussets at the sides to shape the beginning of the strap, and then made the border on the top of the bag become the actual strap, and finished it off with a scalloped edge.

I had about 8 gazillion ends to weave in though - scary!
