Time to travel
Well, here it is. I finished doing the i-chord closures last night while watching Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (apropos, no?)
The strap is really comfy. It kind of hugs you. We’ll see how well it performs as an actual load-bearing accessory, but it’s pretty enough that I’d be happy to just drape it over the shoulder of my sofa as a decoration.

Oooh! Purdy!
That looks great. I’m very curious to see how it holds up to actual weight, so please do let us know.

Very nice. Also, tell us if it gives you the ability to bound across rooftops, catch arrows midair, etc.

Very lovely!
I’m another one who is curious about it’s carry-durrability — esp. the strap. After making a few felted items, it seems to me like knit bags are best when not too much structure is required of them — or whatever you will be carrying in them is not very heavy .

You’ve done a brilliant job on the bag, I really love it. Did you keep the dimensions? I’m thinking of maybe shrinking it down a bit so it’s more of a purse than a carry-all. Anyways be proud of yourself for all of your wonderful work

Cool, I’ve been watching your progress on the bag and it turned out really nice. That’s a whole lot of seed or moss stitch goin on. Are you takin orders? LOL

Try lining the bag (and one side of the strap, perhaps?) to make it more weight-friendly. Worked like a charm on my last bag! It’s not so hard, just sew a little bag of the same (or slightly smaller) dimensions with the right side of the fabric inside, then sew across the top of the bag.

NICE! You’ll definitely need to line it if you want to carry anything heavy.

How do you make an i-chord? I’m knitting a bag, and it says, “Make an i-chord,” then doesn’t give any instructions. Thanks in advance. Love your blog.
