I forgot to tell you what I made this with. I used a worstes weight hand dyed mohair and wool blend from Farmhouse yarns. I didn't have enough of the color I bought for the main bag but managed to find something very similar for the handles. I changed the pattern slightly in that I did not cut the I cord in two pieces and then tie together. I wanted a cleaner look so I threaded the I cord through the holes ( here's a handy hint...I used needle nose pliers to pull the cord through the holes :-) ) and then sewed the ends together with thread. I think it will be strong enought to hold and it looks neater. Kim

Hi Kim,
I just had to pop by and say....congrats on finishing your i-cord!! Your bag is very pretty, I like the colorway.
