Go Green Bag
Knit yourself a sturdy tote
bag that is strong enough
to haul even the heaviest
combination of groceries.
Designed by Nora Bellows, the
Go Green Bag is the perfect
felting project for new knitters
or those knitters who have just
learned the continental style of
knitting. Yvonne has adapted the
pattern to be knit in the round and requires minimal
$40
finishing. Easy Plus (YE).
Thursdays, May 14, 28 & June 11 6 p.m.-8 p.m.
Basic Felted Tote
Great easy felting project. Suitable
first knitting project! Choose from 3
sizes and add novelty yarn or a little
glitter for extra fun. Learn the basics of
circular knitting while making a very
fun felted bag (looks like boiled wool).
If you can cast on and knit, this is the
project for YOU! Great bag for toting
your newest knitting project.
