Yesterday I finally found time to go out and search for hardware to attach my bag handles. Had I not already installed the grommets I’d simply go with larger ones and skip the middle piece there but once they are pounded on you’re pretty much stuck with them. The final specs are: Kristina Bag knit with one skein Noro Silk Garden and one skein Lamb’s Pride worsted weight in onyx on size 8 needles. The only modification I used was to skip the handles and substitute store bought ones.
