Linda Cyr's Market Squares Bag was so much fun to knit and then felt. I used Briggs & Little Regal 2-Ply in Black, Royal Blue, Fundy Fog, Meadow Green, Light Grey & Blue BW. I also inserted black cotton shoelaces into the knitted I-cord straps before felting so that they would be much stronger.
This project can be found in the Summer 2001 (K63) issue of Knitters magazine on page 42. Above is the bag before felting and below is the finished product. I knitted this bag for my sister-in-law Kathy. |
