shop clients. Your comments are always welcome.
Many knitters use this felted bag as their knitting
bag for the current project they are working on. There is plenty of room for a large project. Knit in pieces and stitched
together. Because felting is so forgiving the sewing stitches never show after felting. There are 2 side pockets and
a larger front pocket. A great button adds an interesting touch. The purse handles are jumbo I-cords. Knit in Brown Sheep
- Lamb's Pride.
