The Doctors Bag is Finished

I finished knitting the pieces for this quite a while ago.

This weekend I decided to get serious- first I sewed the pieces to each other rather than using the 3 needle bind off recommended in the pattern, second I lined it with material from a sarong I don't wear anymore mainly because it is too short. I like my sarongs to be long.

Robert got out one of his many saws and cut the handles for me out of birds eye maple, left over from the kitchen. The ceramic button I got from Vallance pottery in Clinton.

I made two pockets in the lining to hold all my knitting necessities so they don’t get lost in the kafuffle of the big bag.
