I am looking for advice. I had knitted this bag some time ago. It was knit with some Kureyon and some Lamb Pride Bulky. Which has felted fantastically. Basically I was experimenting in bags at the time. I now want to actually finish the bag and thus cross off another WIP off the list. What I wanted help with was choosing handles. I have plain D handles in Black, Pink; Some Bamboo handles; or a lovely multi-coloured bead handle. I'm leaning towards plain black as the bag is 'busy' enough on its own. Any suggestions? :) Or have you seen the perfect handles for this bag elsewhere?
Here is a picture of the candidates for handles. To make choosing easier. :)

I actually vote for the multi coloured bead handle. The bag is so vibrant, it just seems like an equally snazzy handle might be needed :-)
I'm torn between being traditional and going for the ultimate artistic move and choose the multi-color handle. Can't wait to see which one you choose.
I was going to vote for the black ones, but now I think maybe the beaded ones. Are the black ones smaller?
I love those striped handles. Can't wait to see what you put those on.
The black ones are smaller than the striped handles but the same size as the pink. I plan to do a Noni Bag and had the striped handles in mind. I also have a square pair of the striped handles. :)
Thanks for all the help, it is so hard to decide!! :)
I vote for the beaded handles. They're lovely and would pick up on all the colors in the bag. Be sure to post pics after you decide!
I like the beaded handles too for that bag. it is lovely by the way!
Gorgeous handles. How about the beaded ones.
Is that a B4 bag Gilraen? I love that pattern, and love the colours you've used. I have to say I like the black ones, but think the beaded ones would work too. I like these ones as well but not sure if they are the right blue: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Blue-bag-or-handbag-handles-postage-at-cost_W0QQitemZ150095018687QQcategoryZ4836QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item150095018687
No Piglottie it's not the B4 bag. I did use the techniques I learnt in making a B4 bag to do the bobbles, but I modelled it on a Noni bag I liked. I was just experimenting with odds and ends of wool. Those are lovely blue handles, and for that price worth getting to see. Thanks a million. :)
mmmmm beaded...black....beaded .....black not sure Duh !!great help aern't I but I did narrow it down to two !! Great bag ; just one thought do you have any more of the yarn that you could knit into a thick I-cord and felt that ?
