I got my issue of Interweave Knits in my mailbox yesterday, and I couldn't help myself, I cast on for the Celtic Tote last night (after I finished Hubby's #2 hat -- a Father/Daughter again) and have gotten about halfway through the chart/side.
I had the perfect yarn (see here) and, for some reason, this pattern called out to me.
I've been looking for a brown bag, just a plain brown bag, and when I couldn't find one, I took myself off to the LYS and bought that yarn, not really knowing what I was going to do with it. I looked at it for the past two weeks, researched some patterns, but I guess I was waiting for this particular one!
Don't you just love it when you have the ability to say, hmm, I think I need a new bag? Or, hmm, I think I would love a new pair of socks? Or, hmm, I need that sweater. Or, hmm, my puppy/dog/cat needs a new sweater...or a hat...or gloves...or fingerless mitts...or mittens...(for you, not the animals! although I think they'd look smashing!)
We knitters (and sewers) wield such power, don't you think?

You're absolutely right. I think knitters have lots of power that way!
I admired that bag in the mag. I am interested in how it turns out for you.Maybe I will try it !
I love Celtic knots! I love that bag too. You bet me but then I'm sure half the blogging world will bet me! Can't wait to see your new bag.
