The Season of Bags Continues


So the bag for the SIL (Eldest Brothers wife) is first.
I have tried something different with the squares following a theme. I think I still love the bold contrasting solids..but it does look lovely.
I have slowed as I had a Christmas function and dh's birthday this week. So not too much knitting on those days.
