The bag is now cast on, I bought some beautiful turquoise wool from I Knit London in Vauxhall. They have a lovely selection of wool that is a bit different to what you get in the likes of John Lewis and Libertys but it was pretty intimidating and actually quite unfriendly which surpirised me as I love the website and they have a facebook and ravelry group. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, I'll be going back anyway because it is closer and easier to get to than Oxford Street (and I optimistically bought just two skeins when the pattern called for three - I am making it slightly smaller though).
My camera couldn't pick up the colour very well so I found this shade card on the web, the wool is called Artesano Aran and the shade is Twilight. The bag is in "berry stitch" which is new for me, I really like the texture of the stitch which makes little bobbles on the RS.
