    Well I've finished my bag, and managed the applied icord :D

    Can't decide what type of handles would look best - knitted icord, leather, wood, plastic?

    Any thoughts?

    Lining

    With the colours you have used I would go for leather, ideally black.
    It's a lovely bag, looks extremely professional too- well done!

    Bit of a lurker on here, I'm sure I have posted a long time ago :)

    I just had to say, did you notice on Call the Midwife that they seemed to be 'knitting' crochet squares? I told my husband this, he didn't seem interested :(

    That is a fab bag, love the lining :)

    I noticed those knitted crochet squares, although trixie did have a purple knitted square on her needles while they were sitting guarding the phone, we never saw it sewn into the finished blanket

    Beanie finished.
    This pic is a bit brighter than in real life but shows you the shape of it. More pics on ravlery.
