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!

Supplies:
  4 skeins of 100% worsted weight wool yarn (this project is to be felted, so yarn must be wool)
