Knitting for the World....

Here's the latest in our Knitting for the World and our Families project. I knit this tote bag using a pattern from the book Oneskein by Leigh Radford. I was expecting it to felt to a much smaller size than this. No worries, though. I'm going to line it with a soft flannel and give it to my SIL for Christmas. Next up--some cotton washcloths in a basketweave stitch.

p.s. See the little bowl of felt nut-people? My girls made them for this weekend's Winter Fair. A favorite guest at the Winter Fair is the Pocket Lady who wears an apron full of little pockets. Children can reach in and take a treasure.
