This is what Random.org has determined on my behalf so far with my latest knitting project.

It’s going to be a poncho because I don’t want to worry about fit.

Also, the tan project bag in the background is made out of an old sheet. For some reason, a lot of the old sheets started to get holes in them recently. So I am turning them into bags of various sorts. (Well, the regions without holes are being turned into bags.) Almost all of the bags that I have made so far have serious flaws in them, but I am learning. I feel like soon I will be able to make very functional bags very quickly.

The plan for future bags: Make a tube of fabric. The cylinder should have a very large radius and a fairly small height. Turn the tube right side out and press flat, with the seam(s) symmetrically arranged around the center of the rectangle that you have flattened the tube into. Fold this rectangle in half, nicest (seam-free) right sides together; the raw edges will be the sides of the bag, and the folded edges will be the rim of the bag. Serge the sides. You should now have a terrible inside-out bag. Cut identical small-ish squares out of the two bottom corners. Puff the bag out so that the bottom is now a rectangle; serge these cut edges together, too. Turn the bag right-side out and then either attach some handles or else sew a channel and cut some holes for a drawstring (reinforce the holes with grommets – trying to arrange buttonholes ahead of time was too much of a pain in the neck). Feed some ribbons or whatever you have through the channel. Put the zipper away. Don’t even consider adding a zipper.
