Two Notes: One on the Pattern and one on the Yarn.

Look up Last Minute Knitted Gifts corrections if this link doesn’t work.

Yarn Note:
A gigantic oops from me. Do not cut the ties on the Manos yarn. See the note here from Yarndex:

“Please Note: DO NOT cut what appear to be the yarn ties that form each hank -- they are actually the beginning & end of your hank used to tie the hank together for convenience. Instead, carefully untie them to maintain the full length of the hank.”

I made the mistake of cutting the “ties” on the first hank and wasted about a yard and a half of the yarn.

This is the perfect project for mindless knitting. It’s supposed to be a 10 hour project. I rarely ever knit for an entire hour. This will probably take me 30 - 40 hours.

I am pleased with the final product. The felting instructions were very helpful. I’ve only felted a few items (okay actually more but that was a mistake). The purple yarn should have been the same dye lot but wasn’t and it did not felt equally. I don’t care. My yoga mat fits in it just fine. I will now be able to take my yoga mat back to work in style.
