Continuing Saga of the Exchange Bag

I am still working on this bag, after starting in three times now. The pattern isn't really that difficult, I think it's because the nylon is hard to work with. The first time, the shells didn't line up right, and I didn't have the same tension throughout. Then, I somehow increasing the number of stitches, so one side started going on a diagonal, and it would have looked strange. Hopefully it will work now, because I like the pattern, and the purse seems like it would be useful. It is frustrating to keep redoing the same pattern, but I think it will be worth it.
