Hey, peeps! I just finished a little impulse project called the Adelphia Bag. The knitting was pretty speedy. The finishing was pretty intense!
The colors reverse! The yarn is Malabrigo Arroyo, in Vaa and Neverland.
The bag is lined and is supposed to have a zipper. I’ve added zippers to bags, but just didn’t feel like it! I used a magnetic snap instead.
I also added a leather strap. I bought the leather at a store I call the “fire trap.” Other people call it S. R. Harris — bought the lining there, too. They sell leather scraps for $10/pound! I owned some rivets and bought a nice set of leather punches. The small punches are so tiny I think they are for SMALL wires!
I added i-cord around the top edge as well. I thought it added strength and stability. All in all, I think I love it!!!
That is fabulous!!

It looks great, and I love the magnetic snap idea and leather strap. But you might be a glutton for punishment lol. Kudos. Well done!

Very posh looking bag. I prefer zippers to keep all my stuff in the bag when I drop it, as happens often to me. The leather strap is a great idea. Is that to hang it from your wrist?

I think Woolly Wormhead hats use a similar short row concept?
I made one hat and really enjoyed it.
This super bag reminds me to make for the coming winter.
Congrats on the new finished project!
