I visit this site regularly and love to read the magazine. One contributor Diane from http://www.folksy.com/shops/crawlin gives loads of knitting tips. I liked her beach bag and decided to have a go.I've never knitted a bag before, don't know why, just haven't.
I made this my "In bed" knitting, I have to have some thing to knit when I can't sleep, this can be midnight or 3am onwards. It was so easy, such a simple yet effective pattern. I even carried on with it when I wasn't in bed. IMAGINE THAT!!
Eager to finish, I hadn't got any D shaped handles, but adapted the pattern by adding an extra bit to support the top, then I lined it with some vintage fabric, I even added a tiny pocket for my keys. (Could have been deeper this bit)
Anyhoo, thanks Diane for sharing your pattern, and here they both are.

I can't imagine knitting at that time in the morning! but then again I don't have problems sleeping, I guess youu might as well do something constructive if you can't sleep. It looks great.
The kitties look so cute in your last post too!

hennie, what a lovely bag. I too have "in bed" knitting, which I do in the mornings and evenings, always have done, so you are not alone.
kittens are lovely, we had 4 similar last year, feral ones at the bottoom of the garden, the "cat rascue" lady who helped to catch them said that if they are tortoiseshell, even just a little bit, then they are female (didn't know that!) so looks like you, as you said, have 3 gorgeous girls.
joy xx
of course I dont mind and I am so happy that you enjoyed making it :)
