Thank you so much! that's exactly what i needed 
I think i'll be around Arndale and market street but will try to visit chinatown if i have  time!

Hello there!  :)i'm spending next tuesday in manchester due to work, but i'm hoping i can find a couple of free hours to visit the city and maybe buy some yarn... Is there any place and/or label i shouldn't miss?
thanks

You should visit Merceria Santa Ana in Portal de l'Angel street, its a huge old shop with all kind of stuff for crafts!! 
Also, if you have a walk in Call street, you'll find lots of small shops with beads and such stuff.
For second hand stores, just have a walk around the center of the city (esp. the Raval and the Born areas), there are thousands!

No, i didn't modify the pattern, i just sewed it differently, so both handles would be toguether (sorry my english sucks). 
I'm a slooooow knitter so it took me a couple of weekends... not sure how many hours... but it's an easy project, and you can finish it whenever you want, by making the bag bigger or smaller

It's about...  20x30cm (not sure how much is that in inches). I did it in cotton so it's larger than when i finished it!!! but i stil like it a lot 

Just finished my first knitted bag, and feel soooo proud!  

Here's how it looks like (perfect for summer!)
