I've got two (#s 1 & 3) of my April items completed...
Green Celtic Tote... sadly, this is gifted to myself because a) I missed part of one cable's outlining and didn't realize until after I felted it, and b) it's a bit wonky despite much stretching. So not gift-worthy, but I still like it. Someday I may try to outline the part I missed, but I don't want to felt the bag anymore or it will lose the cable definition.
(made with Lamb's Pride Worsted)
I'm much happier with Carie Lynn Bag from SheKnitsforKnitters. It was a fun and relatively quick knit. This one is made with Valley Yarns Berkshire.
This bag will be donated to a raffle at a women's retreat next weekend.
Have great rest of the weekend!

I love the Celtic bag. Was it too difficult? I haven't done much with cables, but I love them.
It wasn't difficult - just need to read the chart carefully since it's not symetrical. And read the text along with the chart...there are some decreases on the 'edge' stitches so I recommend marking the chart on those rows so you don't forget.
oh what beautiful bags! Good job!
They both look fabulous! And I'm glad you get tokeep the celtic one! :)
