Feeling Lopi

So the Lopi tote is a hit. Everyone loves it. I'm trying to figure out how to finish it though. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I'm thinking about putting a magnet clasp on it. Can't figure out how to attach it to the bag without the prongs showing through on the outside of the bag. Also, when I carry a lot of chit the bag tends to sag. Gotta think of a way to support the bottom. I read on some blog (damn, wish I could remember it) that someone used a flexible Ikea cutting board. Cut it to size and cover it. Voila! I'll have to try it and will let you all know.

On the cute boyfriend front--My Dangshin has been raving about the Lopi Tote I made (see previous blog entry.) Isn't he cute? He had the boys over last night. Yes, 12+ grown men hanging out playing cards and what not were asked to divert their attention to look upon my glorious Lopi Tote. I beamed.

I am responding to Keela who left me my very first comment. Thank you for having such confidence in my talents. I am still fairly new to all this knitting stuff. Unfortunately, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking money for the Hallowig because it was a free pattern. I sense that there is an unspoken honor system in place within the knitting community that I don't feel comfortable in breaking. Have you considered contacting Megan Reardon, the designer, directly? Maybe she'll take your money ;P But, thanks again for thinking I can whip one of those things up! I felt extremely honored.
