Twisted Loops

My market bag knitting quest continues.   This pattern worked up quickly on my size 11 needles.  Overall, I didn’t care for this pattern as much as I did the Saturday Market Bag.  The stitch pattern on the other bag was more interesting to knit, and I found this stitch pattern a little tedious.  I did like the applied i-cord edge and i-cord handles.  I  will probably incorporate these into another market bag. 

Pattern: Elisa’s Nest Tote
Source:  The Purl Bee
Yarn: Peaches & Creme Solids
Color: Cream
Needles: US11 and US7

Started: May 28, 2008
Completed: June 4, 2008

Pattern modifications:

• I knit the pattern in the round.
• I split the bag into two sides and added a few repeats on each side before adding the handles.  Otherwise, the opening on this bag tends to be too small.
