"This yarn is listed on the website as a #5 bulky yarn, it is listed on ravelry as a #6 super bulky, either way the 5 mm needle is far too tight, feels like it could break the needle tight. The recommended needle size for this yarn is 6.5 mm, I'm going to try that to see if it helps with the tightness and drape."

"There seems to be instructions missing from the pattern to finish the bag at the bottom. I think I will start it with a false cast on, so I can do a 3 needle bind off at the end."

"This pattern is old, it's been on here for more than 10 years and the yarn was discontinued almost that long ago. There are a lot of comments on the ravelry listing for the pattern about issues with the pattern but no one has mentioned the cast on being a problem, however I did notice that this websites states worsted weight yarn, when bamboo naturals was in fact a bulky weight yarn."
