Everybody needs a nice roomy tote to carry around projects, patterns,"supplies, and the odd snack. Felted totes are particularly appealing, as
they use all natural materials and are solid enough not to need a lining.
Unfortunately, creating a large tote in one piece has drawbacks -
particularly in the summer months when its just way too hot to carry
around a large project. If you want to incorporate colorwork, youve got

Everybody needs a nice roomy tote to carry around projects, patterns,"supplies, and the odd snack. Felted totes are particularly appealing, as
they use all natural materials and are solid enough not to need a lining.
Unfortunately, creating a large tote in one piece has drawbacks -
particularly in the summer months when its just way too hot to carry
around a large project. If you want to incorporate colorwork, youve got
to organize all those skeins at once. And its difficult to feel like youre
making any progress until the very end.
This bag solves those problems.
Since each square is knit
individually and seamed together at
the very end (before felting), youll
only need to carry one skein of yarn
at a time. Each time you finish a
square youll feel like youve
accomplished something - and you
can leave the finished squares at
home until ready to block and sew.
You are the master of your destiny
with this tote - pick your favorite
colors, maybe even throw in some
fancy stitchwork to give it extra
texture.
