Off the needles: draw-string bag

Last year I talked my sister into giving up her yarn stash...almost as old as some of my yarns. She had a few tubes of cotton chenille. I crocheted myself a project bag out of the teal blue. Now she's decided to take up knitting again (socks! for her first project in decades). So I used the purple chenille and knitted her a bag for her projects. The bag measures about 15" from top to bottom.

Isn't is nice when you give away something and then get it back in a new, improved form? And I get one more thing out of my yarn stash.
