The Twist Bag by Cynthia Pilon Designs
$77.20
The Twist Bag is a soft, casual bag with a single shoulder strap and an asymmetrical opening. The bag is created in the round in one piece, with the shoulder strap grafted in the middle (complete instructions are provided if you haven’t grafted before). A short strap pulls across the opening and buttons for closure. Comprehensive instructions are provided for felting the piece in a washing machine.
"I have found that many of my customers are accomplished knitters but are unsure of their felting skills. There are many little tips that can help with felting that are too varied or random to include in every pattern. [The monthly] newsletter will answer direct questions and offer some tips that will help you achieve the outcome you want. Thanks!" --Cindy
