This was my first ever Fair Isle project.  I took a class offered at So Much Yarn, where Lauren showed us how to put together the colours we wanted as well as how to knit with two colours in the same row.  I had originally intended this bag for Sarah's Xmas present, but when it arrived my sister Maggie fell in love with it and Sarah gave it to her.  (I now owe Sarah an Xmas gift.)  I guess it was meant to be Maggie's since I had bought another set of colours to make the same bag for Maggie for her birthday in January.

I used Tahki Cotton Classic.  It's hard to see in these photos, but there are green beads at the tips of the picot edging and the ends of the ties.  The ties were hard to make, but Lauren convinced me to stick with them and they eventually came out well.
