I haven't actually worn it out in public yet, have been waiting for Thanksgiving to be over and start the Christmas Season.
Yes it actually has a bell for the closure, it is really fun, it jingles when you move your hand.
Don't know if I will sell it at the LBS or keep it for my self, it is an advanced pattern and I'm not sure I would ever make another one. I am not fond of mass production and that is one of the reason I have never gotten into craft fairs or even art shows. I love the challenge of creating a design, but once I have accomplished that task I lose interest in repeating the project. 
I have decided to have a drawing for a free PDF copy of this original design (color chart and wordchart too) on December 23rd. If you would like to be entered leave a comment and your name will go in the hat.
