Fair Isle Linda Bag



This bag is based on the Lucy Bag pattern, but I increased to 144 stitches, and added some fair isle around the center. The bottom has Tim Tex sewn to it to keep it flat. I also lined the bag with pockets for cell phone, check book, straight needles, pens, and a zipper pocket. I call it the Linda bag, because I made it for Linda for our knitting group's pollyanna exchange. It is knit with Philosopher-like yarn, and it took a long time to felt. Next time, I think I will run two strands of yarn in the solid areas, as it felted differently from the rest of the bag.
