Need a bag? Make a simple rectangle, sew a few cleverly placed seams, and voila! It becomes a bag! This bag uses intarsia. To avoid having too many ends to weave in, leave balls of yarn intact and use them as is, rather than cutting shorter lengths. Occasionally take the balls and individually untangle them, or give knitting in both
directions a try. Want a simpler project? Just use a single color and skip the intarsia all together!
