Well, here is the finished knit bag after a long time on needles. Started this project early last year (maybe earlier?) and finished it last week. Either side can be the 'outside' and both have advantages. The purl outside allow the corners to stand up,
I've made a bag like this for my Nan a few years back and enjoyed it, so made another for myself, slightly longer this time........ now....... what to use it for.........
