Windmill Bag

The Windmill Bag is almost done. All need is my handles which I haven't bought yet but intend to soon. The pattern is really simple and easy. Its just putting it together that is sort of tricky. I had to take some scrap yarn and tie it together so I could see how the strips were to go together. After I got the strips temporarily together I could then see how it would look.

I just used Sugar'n Cream Naturals, Sonoma print. It is a 4 ply cotton yarn. The bag turned out great for what I want to use it for. The pattern calls for Plymouth yarn Boku and Galway Yarn, you will also need purse handles I saw some at our local craft store. I found the Boku yarn on Yarn.com and GalwayYarn on Yarncountry.com. Then next time I make one , I do think that I will use the yarn that was suggested in the pattern.
The stitches are just a hdc and fpsc and bpsc. So easy!!! plus it doesn't need a lining with this stitch. I'm not really ready to get the sewing machine out yet! I havent' sewed in years not even sure I remember how to work the sewing machine!:)
