Circular knitting.
Weird.
But good.
The biggest benefit of circular knitting is that you don’t lose your other needle down the side of the sofa.
Stitch markers. Vital!

Apart from fulling and then attaching the button…and maybe a lining…it’s finished.
Bit scared about fulling so I’ll park this project for now.
After trying to full by hand which involved the bathroom sink, lots of hot water and an aching back I gave up and chucked it in the washing machine with fingers crossed. The result is okay I think. I can still see the stitches and thus the pattern so it’s not over fulled.
I could still lose little things like crochet needles and tweezers through the sides of the bag so I going to have to line it and if I’m feeling brave I’ll add a few little pockets to store these things. If I’m really brave the pockets will have zips 😀
The lining is an old pyjama top which is far too beautiful to just throw away.
I’ve deconstructed the pyjama top with a sharp pair of scissors and I’ll think about the design…
