Nylon KK bag

I've been wanting to knit a bag with crochet nylon and did that in the last 2 days. These pix don't do it justice. I got the nylon crochet cord at wally world. I used 2 strands and the green loom. If you want a wider bag the yellow loom would probably be better. The cord is slick so it likes to come off the pegs unless you get it anchored and it tends to get loose wraps but if you let the bag hang it will take up the slack.
I just knitted in the round until I got it long enough to gather the bottom - then gathered it. Kept knitting till I had it as long as I wanted, then I put the loop on peg on onto peg 2 and knit over, did the same with peg 18 over 19 to decrease. dec each end of every other row till there were 4 pegs left wrapped. knit those 4 till the strap is half as long as you want. do the same with the other side. bind the strap ends off and sew them to gether. tie all your knots very tight or they will slip loose.
