After finishing the first bag, and realizing I had more than enough yarn left for a second (and then some.. lol) I went to work.. and really very quickly completed this one..I started it yesterday and I finished it this afternoon. I think I just finally have those squares down, and the rest of it was really very simple. I did the sides differently on this one… just doing rows of dc around my seamed blocks, and then joining the front and back together in the “middle” of the sides with a slip stitch seam.

Is it sad that I actually have plans in the works for a third? I want to make the Percy bag from Knitty and incorporate a block into it somehow.. and UPS should be arriving any minute now with a bunch of Shine Sport in Fedora… mmmm.. chocolatey and some Comfy in Honey Dew (speak of the devil, right after I typed that, my doorbell rang!! My almost 3 year old answered the door with me and immediately said “I like it, mail! Is it more yarn?” She’s so cute, really! I got two boxes of yarn.. my KP order and a big box of Peace Fleece!). Anyways, one of those is earmarked for a lace top for me, but the other will become a bag.

I think Fedora is an ironic name for a yarn color, of course, my dad had a fedora hat that he wore in the late 70’s and through most of the 80’s.. the only picture we have of it, is on some button he had made for whatever reason.. that has survived for some 20+ years now.. the yarn is almost the same color.. darker, but still brown!

Update: decided to go with the Honey Dew for the bag I couldn’t see making a lace top (meant to go over a t-shirt) out of it after it arrived, so that made the decision much easier. It’s on it’s way to becoming a bag now
