I was getting tired of the Sock Monkey Stocking and wanted to do something mindless, so I went down in the basement to my old, old yarn stash from when I was knitting before, and found a lot (8-10 skeins) of some cool blue and white acrylic/cotton blend, and I made a bag. I don't know if I'll use it--it probably really needs to be lined, it's WAY too soft and floppy, but I kind of like the way it looks, and basically, it was free, since I'd had the yarn for probably ten years, and I apparently paid $1.00/skein for it (the bag took a little more than one skein).
