I'm Gooder Than I Thought

I did snag some yarn yesterday (which I'll tell you about later), but I actually *finished* a project, too.  Yay!

This is for AmberCake.  We agreed to swap over 8 months ago, setting it up for the fall.  We were both too busy then.  She's probably too busy now, too, since she's expecting!

I made longer straps at her request.  She also wanted a dark bottom and handles.  I think it frames the birdcage nicely.

I'm gonna keep what I'm getting from her a secret until I get them, to keep the pressure off Amber.  She's got way more important things to worry about.  I am SUPER excited, though, because she is making me the most wonderful knitted things E.V.E.R.

Amber is going to love it! I wonder if the request for black on the bottom and handles were to hide the NYC dirt that gets on your bags, no matter how careful you are? I saw the pattern of what she is making you and the very beginning stages of the project, I think it is equally amazing!
