Okay, so it's not a booga bag

It started out as a booga bag. Then I thought, I don't have enough yarn for the purse straps so let me work with what I have. Next, I thought about the French market bag. I do love the handles on that bag so I'll give that a go. However, this bag was pretty deep in comparison and I wasn't sure how it would carry, so I decided to take inspiration from the SnB marsupial tote. At the time, it made sense given I have knitted that bag and have some knowledge of how that will end up.

And now I have this mystery tote

Not exactly sure what it will end up looking like, but here is a pic which includes the case for my Denise interchangeables just for size. Think its about 20''W x 30" H. Ironically, I thought that I didn't have enough yarn in my stash to possibly finish any of the bags and now its seems I could have knit all bags and a wallet to match, lol. I cast off too few for the handle so I need to rip back a few rows to bind off more. I think I could go for longer straps. The bound off stitches are barely visible in pic. Talk about too few.

I believe I am taking wingin' it to a whole 'nother level. And I have to admit, its fun! Hope I feel this way once it is felted.
