My first knitting project that I’ve completed in a while is the Saturday Market Bag by Jodie Danenberg (a fellow string player!)

It took me three tries to finally get the pattern right - I wasn’t looking closely enough, and was passing the yarn over stitch over, instead of the slipped stich. Once I got the hang of it, it was quite easy. Didn’t take me long at all to do (just took me forever before posting about it!) I used a cotton/acrylic blend yarn.

It alarmed me slightly how much the bag stretches, but it’s just a bag, not a sweater, so I guess I don’t really have to worry about pulling it out of shape. It’ll just conform to the shape of whatever’s inside. However, I underestimated how much the handle would stretch, and made it too long. Oh well, just knot the top and it’s whatever length I want.
