Another fantabulous pattern from Jane Thornely, designed to get your creative juices flowing!
Here is what she writes:
"‘Tis the season for investing only a little time but reaping huge gift-giving results. Enter the festive little ornamental gift bag, small enough to knit quickly, festive enough to look very special as a gift, and fun to knit.
" For a daughter, how about an iPod cover?, for a friend, how about an evening clutch?, for a mother, how about an eyeglass case?, and, for you, well, why not?
"These little bags lend themselves to a multitude of variations in terms of size and shape. The smaller ones can be knit in an evening but you probably won’t want to just knit one."
Great fun -- and perfect for this time of year. Jane even has ideas for great embellishments using (what else?) beads if you wish.
