Had to unravel the first time I picked up stitches – I am hopeless at this bit (read: too impatient!) anyhow – it seems better the second time around… has pears and bananas in it, if you’re curious! :) Only bit I tweaked was adding the stripes, and also made the handle a bit wider...

Finished one side of the Market bag going up to Nottingham on the train on Saturday.. After being a real thicky with the stitch a few times, by the third cast on I had it cracked… Am using a Debbie Bliss Cotton DK (green) and the two bamboo yarns from my secret pal :) …...

Having a go at knitting with the bamboo and cotton yarn my SP sent me, and make this market bag… Much better than plastic carriers! Bamboo must be as strong as cotton no? :) Also made this yarn cupcake as my spoil-ee doesn’t want anything edible sent to her!…
