Yatsuhashi -  used Lamb's Pride worsted in Deep Charcoal, with Charcoal Heather, Grey Heather and Aubergine for the random stripes. She followed the pattern except that she did knit the bag body two inches higher than sugggested ( 10") because she knew that LP felts down vertically quite a bit. It ended up 7" high from base edge to top edge. The circumference didn't change too much. She didn't like how it looked when she blocked it on a square base so she re-wet it and blocked it on a large plastic bucket (round)and she's happy with the final bag.
