Knitters talk about F.O.s, which are Finished Objects – as opposed to U.F.O.’s, which are UnFinished Objects. Finishing a project is definitely cause for celebration, so I’ll share my most recent F.O. with all of you.

Even better, you watched it in progress. I started my denim bag here, continued here, and most recently posted about it here. I finished all that I-cord, then stalled a bit on the lining. There must have been an easier way to put the lining together than the way I did it, but I finally got it done.

And here it is!

Here’s the inside, which looks kind of like funky pyjamas:

It shrank about an inch in each dimension, as the label warned and I think the fabric tightened up nicely. It has some sturdiness now, especially with the lining. I only had a little bit of the sixth ball leftover, so I maybe could have knit one more repeat on the strap. Pretty efficient knitting, and I’m very happy with the end result.
