This bag seemed to take FOREVER to make. All those rounds of seed stitch. I LOVE the FO though. It was totally worth it. I didn't take time to check gauge, and probably should have used smaller needles. So instead of a bag that I could take to the market, this should be more of a beach bag. It fits 4 towels easily.
And here it is stuffed with groceries. TJ's shoppers will know the sizes of these items. The bag holds a tub of alphabet cookies, a tub of mini meringues, a box of Kashi Mighty Bites, a bag of White Cheddar Puffs, a loaf of Cinnamon bread, and a bag of Honey-Wheat pretzel sticks.
I've finished a few market bags. Each from a different pattern. I was going to try to post them all together...sort of a comparison review. Now, I'm just hoping to get them all up on the blog. Do you have a favorite market bag pattern? What makes that one your favorite?

Holy cow, that's big! :-) I like the colors you used.
Your bag turned out great! I'm still looking for a favorite bag pattern. I liked the one I made but the opening is too narrow to use at the store. It will be a good bag to take to the farmer's market, though.
Love the colors, and we all need a big bag or two...
You're right - it is totally worth it! I love those colors and it will be a great beach bag. I've been thinking about making one of those . . . .
Seed stitch, FO, gauge? It sounds like you're speaking a foreign language to me!
Whether I can understand you, or not, I can see that the bag looks great. Nice work! *grin*
Wow, that's big. It looks great.
Hi, there! I know it's been a while, but I wanted to stop in and catch up a bit... trying to get back to life - had a bumpy 6 months (you know, the life changing stuff!).
I love your bag! It looks sturdy, too.
