I love bags, and I love making them, too. This simple felted tote is a great way to use up remnants of bulky yarn - just be sure that the yarn is wool.
Felting is an inexact science; different wool yarns felt at different rates. Your finished bag may not have exactly the same dimensions as the samples shown here, but the result will still be a useful, cute tote that you made yourself. Because felting makes knitted fabric sturdier and less penetrable, this project makes an excellent market tote of knitting bag.
