Owly Handlebar Bag (now w/ chart!)

[teriyakimoto]

I made this bag for the Giant Theme Swap.  Two of my partner's themes were Owls/birds and bicycles, so I decided to tie the two together.  I used some variegated chunky yarn I had lying around w/ size 8s I think.  It's lined w/ an inner zip pocket.  I haven't sewed in awhile so the lining is a bit sketchy.  Oh well.  I'll probably make myself one as stuff is always falling out of my pockets when I'm bicycling.  Hope you like it!

That is so lovely...! I want one too! I am really envious of your swap partner - you've done an amazing job...!

Oh, btw - is there a pattern?

I think the lining is good! I love the stitching - that owl is so cute! I love the color contrast with that oatmeal color and the red!

Oh that's brilliant! What a clever idea, and very nicely executed.

That's really cute, and so practical.

I love this!! Great choice in yarns, too.

Thanks everyone!  I don't have a pattern.  I just knitted a long rectangle (stockinette then moss stitch for the top edges)  w/ a button hole, folded it in half, and knit some straps w/ button holes.  I do have a chart for the owl I can post after work.

Just in case, here's the owl chart (for those interested):

I love owls"^.^" The inner fabric is so cute, you should make a matching knit wallet!
