My very sweet knitting pal, Maryannlucy ... you remember her from previous posts, don't you? ... sent me a fab parcel the other day. And inside was a fab, fab, fab bag knitted by her very own self and felted especially for me ('cause I'm "felting-challenged", you know).
This is the bag ...
You will notice that the straps are not quite equal length ...
"Shame" said DH, "maybe she is old and did not notice they were so different" - "She's young and a very talented knitter", I SNORTED!!!
"Shame" said DD, "maybe she ran out of yarn" - "No way, MAL is a perfectionist, she made it like this ON PURPOSE", I INSISTED!!!
Maybe the long strap goes over the shoulder and the short one around your wrist ... well, only if you are a pretzel!
I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON ... I JUST HAD TO FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS ......
"Tummm da rumm dumm" *Cue the best Sherlock Holmes detective-type music
I pulled and poked and pushed ....
Nope,that's not right .....
Nor is that .....
And THEN I found it - the secret tuck .... OMG, is this not the most wonderful, clever, exceptional, unique and just plain fab bag you have ever seen?????I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love MARYANNLUCY.
Oh, yes .... did I tell you it is knitted in NORO!
I swear, if she wasn't already married, I would propose to her!!

very nice
Lovely bag .Lucky you! I can imagine just such a discussion with my dh about the handles ! Somehow hubbys lack the kind of creative thinking that wives can manage, lol ! And such a smart closure. I'm inspired to use this closure for something...definately, something ..can't decide yet!
