Mini drawstring backpack

I consider this a great example of when to use Red Heart Super Saver yarn. I found a crochet pattern on the Lion Brand Yarn website, but wasn't sure if I would like it. I wound up making it smaller than the pattern called for (read that as got bored or distracted and wanted to do something else) but it is still a nice size for carrying a few necessities. The drawstring that closes it also becomes the straps.  When stretched out flat it is 15" wide and 11" deep.  Here is the link: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/80406AD.html?noImages=

I also tried to find an easier way of making an icord, but have found that using two double pointed needles is still fastest and easiest, although tedious and hard on the hands. Keeping it even can also be a challenge, but it is just a cord. Be humble and go with it. Perfection is over rated;-)
