Start and Finish Friday

Thanks to Amanda at Crazy Mom Quilts for hosting Finish it up Friday and



I have already shown what I have been doing this week on my blog so I decided to start and finish a completely new project for this link up.

I participated in a Echino Swap a couple of weeks back hosted by Sara at Sew Sweetness and haven't had the courage to cut into the fabric yet. I decided to change that today. I needed a bag to hold by newly acquired hobby of knitting for the trip to the family's this weekend and I thought this was a fitting project to use some of the Echino in.







I used Jeni's Drawstring Bag Tutorial to make it and I definitely don't think this will be my last one. Only took about 45 minutes including seam ripping for not reading my directions... Anyone else have that problem?

Now I have a pretty bag for my pretty knitting. :)
