Sunday morning marked the very last of the i-cord, and now the yoga bag is done:
I hardly even know what to do with my hands now. 🙂 The final specs were:
Yoga Mat Bag (pdf) from Stitch n Bitch Nation
Yarn: 1 ball and about ten yards of Lion Kitchen Cotton, color #108 (Morning Glory)
Needles: #7 for the lace body, #5 for the i-cord straps.
I initially went down two sizes for the needles because I didn’t have dpn’s in a 7, but it ended up making a stiffer and less stretchy strap, so it was actually ideal. I looped the icord through the lace at the top of the bag to make a drawstring, then attached both ends to the bottom. Functional, easy, and I like the double strap.
And, so that you can see how close the color is, here’s the bag scrunched down a bit:
The mat’s a bit shiny, but otherwise they’re nearly dead on.
Your yoga mat turned out very lovely. Nice serene, tranquil color. anjo
