Love how the entrelac stitch looks when completed! After I got the hang of it (totally embracing the "break the yarn" concept to create the lovely color changes), it was a really quick, easy knit. Below is a picture of the bottom - way cool!
Although I love the way the bag turned out, I'm not crazy about the yarn I used: Boku by Plymouth Yarn. The yarn broke numerous times making me leary of how well it would hold up as a purse (knowing I cram so much into my bag). What to do??? I decided to felt it. 
It turned out fabulous! I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for but I know I'll knit this stitch and pattern again.
Personal to sis: Enjoy your Alaskan cruise!

Robin, I love the look of [what looks to me like] this incredibly intricate stitch. However, when you felted it, it passed being something cool to look at and into something extremely wonderful I would love to see this purse in perse-on (sorry for the pun, but I couldn't resist).

Congratulations on completing this cool bag. Felting it was inspired - it turned out great and I'm sure will be much sturdier. You always impress me!
