Finished 2

Ok another small shawl off the needles and blocked,
Note I haven't sewn the ends in yet!!
I've also finished spinning a nice hand dyed top of Shropshire,blues purples and reds with a bit of paleness if opaque white in there as well,I got the idea from "Smoking Hot Needles" after she spun up some harsh top and made a bag out of it,when I saw this on Rav as a destash I jumped in to see if I could be successful in making a serviceable bag too
No pics but this is one idea I have

Another close look
Im going to hook the material in double however but the shape is the same as i have in mind
