Felted Tote Bag
Two 3-hour classes on consecutive days
Cost $40
Take your newly-learned knitting skills and knit a tote bag that you will felt. We will knit a striped tote bag with squared off corners, with either one long handle, or two shorter handles. This is a good class to practice your knitting to develop even tension. Since the bag will be felted, minor errors won't even show!
Requirements:  
  You must have completed Beginning Knitting, or be able to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, increase, decrease, and pick up stitches.
Supplies:
  4 skeins of 100% worsted weight wool yarn (this project is to be felted, so yarn must be wool)
  2 of one color, and 2 of another complementary color
  24" Circular needle size 11
  Double Point needles size 11
Stitch markers
