Pattern: KnitPicks The Florida Bag (discontinued)
Yarn: KnitPicks Shine Worsted in Watermelon, Sunflower, Green Apple, Crocus, Blush, Reef, Coral, and Batchelor Button.
Started knitting: April 6; Finished knitting April 8.
This is a great pattern. I'm sorry that KnitPicks discontinued it. It's no longer on their website so I guess it's sold out. Each color is a different stitch pattern. It was fun trying out new patterns with all the different colors.
Big thanks to my mom for doing the lining of the bag. I am certainly not a seamstress, even cutting fabric makes me nervous. She made the lining out of some great fabric we found at Hobby Lobby.
It's lined with fabric covering double sided stiff interfacing so it has a great shape. I found the handles at Wal-mart. I was most disappointed that Hobby Lobby (at least my Hobby Lobby) no longer carries purse handles. You can see the fabric thru the blue and purple yarns and it coordinates great.
This is my first non-felted bag and I really like it. I wish I were more comfortable sewing so that I could do the lining myself.

Oh that's a great bag!! I LOVE how bright it is and all the colors - and the lining just brings that out even more. Great job!
