WIP: Monk's Travel Satchel

I started this bag in late March, and I'm still only on the strap. When I finish this entire bag, I will make a second one with the hand painted yarn I acquired (see 2 posts ago for pictures!). The pattern is from the book Folk Bags, but I was able to snag a preview copy online so I didn't have to purchase the entire book.


The strap itself. It's so long already! Eventually I'll finish it and move on to the main panels.
