Winter interest they call it when you plant shrubs in the garden that yield up beautiful orange, red, or white berries in fall. This bag offers winter interest all right! Covered with brilliant crimson or shimmering white berries, this unstructured bag in two sizes and colorways is a glorious statement you will love creating and admiring once it is finished.

This bag is knit in one piece. A zipper closes the bag and a separate strap is attached after felting using purchased hardware. I-cord branches and bobble berries are arranged and sewn on by hand. The addition of Tilli Tomas’ hand-beaded yarns lends this bag an even more luxurious feel and makes the winter berries branches appear as if they are glittering with ice that looks white in the bright light of morning or red in the fading light of a winter sunset.
