The Blue Sky Cotton yarn is gorgeously soft, but it knit up much tighter than I hoped, so my daughter has a new bag. Then I used the Filo and Fili pink cotton yarn, and it came out much larger (did I use size 13 needles instead of 11?). Maybe washing it will tighten it up a bit. I did work on on a pattern stitch which I thought came out nicely--the third time.
