New Pattern time folks! Introducing the Intwined Bag, a fast felted bag that uses 14 ply wool in two brilliant colours. This bag was designed as a contest entry for the Paradise Fibers Woolpak contest and is now my favorite giant knitting bag. Big enough to fit an entire sweater inside as well as a few smaller projects this bag can handle serious knitting addiction with ease while the drawstring strap cinches the top closed to keep all your goodies in check.
Leave a comment by 12pm on the 3rd and the drawing for TWO winners will happen next week on October 4th. Happy Knitting and Good luck! xo Meghan
