Here's a bag from Debbie. She writes:
I made three changes:
1. I doubled my yarn for the I-cord handle, and just made it one long length
tied on one side only. (My experience with I-cord is that single-strand is
too flimsy-feeling.)
2. I did k2tog,yo in eight spots for the holes for the cord to go through,
since I knew I would be making fatter cord.
3. I knit a second bottom and attached it like the Fiber Trends Felted Clogs
sole. The bag stands up perfectly on its own, and the "bumper" around the
edge is a neat finishing treatment.
