This is so great!!! And it looks a lot difficult, not easy at all. No wonder you made some tiny mistakes. It has such an intricate pattern. It reminds me of an archeology book I once read… there was explained that in some cultures knots and braided have a kind of religious/ritual meaning besides being pretty to look at. I forgot if it was about Celtic culture… I guess I need to look it up.
But back to your bag: congratulations!!!!!!!
