Quick mindless knits

I have been doing some quick mindless knits while I await the word on whether the upcoming grandchild is a boy or girl so that I know what baby knits I am starting (maybe we will find out this week).  So I found this bag, adapted from a quilting pattern, adapted from origami box folding.  It is a stockinette (or garter, but I like stockinette) rectangle, 3:1 ratio.  It is then folded to form this shape.

My rectangle was 13" x 39" (the bottom is 17") and was knit from a couple of balls of Berroco Comfort that I had lying around.  Once it was folded, I didn't like the stockinette roll, so I picked up stitches and did an I-cord bind-off, and continued the bind-off into a standard I-cord for the strap.

The website for this bag is http://www.toltyarnandwool.com/blogs/blog/15166929-tolt-folded-bag-with-veronika  I seem to be doing fairly well, as it was posted to Knitting Paradise on August 31 and it is finished on September 2!

Gerry, when you go to the website for this, she has links to a quilter with a bag like this.  You quilters have all the best ideas!
