FANCY FELTED BAGS
|
Fancy Felted Bags includes patterns for a Classic Carpet Bag and an African Market Basket plus a detailed article on felting. These are special, beyond-the-basics felting patterns but they are not difficult and beginners can succeed at them. Both bags, shown at left, may be knitted on any gauge of Japanese machine*. Bonds and other hobby machines can utilize the designs by hand selecting a fairisle pattern. 19 pages include 2 punchcards, lots of illustrations, bag diagrams, an in-depth article on the principles and practice of felting and very detailed pattern instructions. The Market Basket was first published in News and Views in 2005, the Carpet Bag in Knitwords in 2004. The felting articles were produced in News and Views as a series in 2005. The illustrations and diagrams are new to this pattern and there have been additions to the text as well. *Passap knitters may knit the bags using single bed fairisle techniques. They will need to understand the machine functions clearly because Passap language is not used in the pattern. E-pattern is $10.50 and will be delivered by instant download.
