I knew it would catch your attention! lol This is a combination of a booga bag and the child's backpack on Knitty called Ayla that I made bigger for a woman. I also made only one handle instead of two as I like it better for a grown up. I used Knickpicks Wool of the Andes double stranded on 10.5's in Cardinal Twist and Red.
It was a fun knit except boring to knit the dang handle! A friend asked me to make a bag for her 22 year old dd and this is what I came up with. I just finished felting so it isn't really put together, just "faked." On top of that, though I valiantly tried to keep them open during felting process, the holes tried to close up so I went ahead and just threaded the wet cord through to keep them open and when I finished, they ended up inside instead of outside so that is why the cord looks funny. When it is completely dry, I will rethread it correctly.
