Ooops, Mystery Pattern Correction

Realized that I left a part out of the end of the pattern.  Nothing major, just left out a bit of seaming  :0)  I have corrected this on Scribd, (it appears in red on the document), and is also listed below.  My apologies.

**Now, sew the top edge together, about an inch - just so the top of the bag doesn't hang open too much.**

Mystery Project #2 is DONE!

Finally, finally, finally!  I have posted the pattern in it's entirety on Scribd in a handy dandy PDF - you can find the link on the Mystery Knitting Patterns page at the top of the blog. Or, click HERE.  It is rather wordy and has pictures, so I have decided not to include it with this post.  So head on over to Scribd and get this stupid UFO off the needles!   At some point this week, I will also be putting a video up on my YouTube channel demonstrating how I finished the project, because while the written directions make sense to me, they may not to someone else even though I did my best to be clear.  Hopefully the pictures are helpful in the meantime.
