I’ve made the handles following the instructions for the “Summer Bag and Purse” project on Jeannette Trotman’s book “Easy Knitted Accessories”, which involves knitting them lengthwise, then picking up the cast-on stitches while binding off. That way you get very flexible handles, that are not too stretchy.

Now IT IS a finished object (FO)
I had knitted this Cable Bag a while ago, and now I've added a lining, so I can use it in the fall and winter. The yarn is yummy Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky Yarn - M240 in Prairie Goldenrod colourway, that I got at Lettuce Knit. I loved knitting it, as it was my first cable project, and I LOVE bags, so it was like falling in love with the project twice. For the lining, I've used a cotton fabric with a floral and musical theme, and I split the interior pocket stitching in the middle of it, so I have two pockets.
