Nicky Epstein: Knitting block by block - the idea came from this book, it is very inspirational

What are you most proud of?

I put the bag together, the lining was completely my design and used the sewing machine as well AND my friend adores her present:-)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid of cable knitting, look on youtube for instructions and after a little practice anyone can make a bag like this.

Love trees. The silhouette in particular. Good job. I may give it a go. :) Thanks for sharing.
