So, I finally finished Rae's bag! She went to New York and bought a jumper, then brought it home to the UK and put it in the washing machine when it was dry-clean only, reducing it to felt. She was so upset. So it's a bag now, with french knitting roses and padded leaves cut from scraps of the main fabric (and an 'I heart NY' charm on a chain round one handle). I was a bit worried the decoration was too full-on for her, but she assures me she's thrilled with it.
After I gave it to her, we were browsing in a trendy baby boutique and she was deliberately wafting the bag in the direction of the shop owner. She noticed the bag and asked if I'd do them a batch of bags on sale or return! Damn, but Rachel's good - I may have to keep her on as my agent...
