Love this bag!

The pattern, as a beginner was easy. I absolutely LOVE the sari yarn. It is gorgeous. I little tricky as it goes from fatter to thinner yarn throughout skein. Still trying to find the right button to complete project or Id include a picture. Perfect for some cash, keys & maybe a cell phone.
