this is north of Vancouver.

and this is my bag so far. It’s my travel project. I am using circular needles and didn’t have any trouble getting on the airplane- no one even looked at security.
The bottom of the bag is 1X ribbing. I picked up stitches all along the edge and then knitted about 1 inch in garter stitch. I have been working in stockinette stitch after that. I am not knitting in a circle because of my overspun yarn. I am hoping that by sewing the bag up when it is finished, the diagonal slant of the seam will become a design element.

0067. I bought 4 little shell buckles.
IKEA- we checked out IKEA, because believe it or not, we still don’t have one in Boston. They had fabric on sale for .99 a meter (Canadian)… I couldn’t resist!
The anthropology museum at University of British Columbia- They have some dolls in their collection including dolls by native peoples and dolls from Japan. Besides the dolls in the collection, they have an amazing collection of other artifacts.
