I've been getting quite a bit of use out of my green/blue/teal entrelac tote bag. It's been my go-to bag for carrying my knitting projects around. I've been meaning to line it for the longest time though, and I finally got around to shopping for some fabric for it last week. What do you think?
The colors are perfect and I really liked the whimsy of the peacock feathers. As I was working on it I realized I finally had a new name for this bag, something a little catchier that "Entrelac Bag #2." It's now the Peacock Entrelac Bag. It's hard to photograph the lining well, but I'm very happy with the results.
My cat Murphy is pretty happy with it too. This isn't the first time she's noticed how much it smells like her kitty pi bed.
I decided not to put a plastic canvas circle in the bottom of this bag as I did in my
Sorbet Entrelac Bag. I found that I kind of liked the slouchy, unstructured nature of this bag when I was using it unlined, so maybe it's just as well that I waited to "finish" it.

As long as the cat likes it.
(After all, isn't that the only thing that matters?? Ever??)
The peacock fabric was a lovely choice. Is that some vintage Liberty that you had stashed away?
Oh that looks great. The lining really finishes it off. I bet you get a lot of compliments carrying that around :)
