I found the stripe yarn on sale at Joann's (Bernat Chunky Twists - Thyme 10.5 oz.).  I bought Carry Alongs by Carrie Sullivan and knew I wanted to used this yarn for the Drawstring Shell Carryall.  When I finished the round bottom I realized I wouldn't have enough yarn to make it one color, this was the only skein left.  I went through my stash and found a Red Heart in Cafe that went well with the Bernat.  I also added a lining. It's 12" round x 18 1/2" high.  It's a good size bag.  I'm using it to carry my projects in now.

Can't wait to make some of the other purses in this book.  It really gives good instructions.
