Cute and Not At All Ugly

I stumbled across this pattern about 6 or 7 months back on Finny Knits, and swore I would create it immediately, but true to form it didn't happen. (Aries, I told you!)

Finny's goal was to replace the cloth shopping bag that was serving as a car trash bag with something more attractive. Having also been rocking a Safeway bag hanging off the back of the passenger seat, this was an ideal project. I decided to go off-norm and pick some exciting fabric colors (I usually tend toward the forest green and rust red spectrum), and armed with my recent knowledge of binding (I felt like a crafting genius) I at LAST tackled this last week.

Et Voila!
