Working in the Round

This issue focuses on projects that are made in the round -- where the crocheting or knitting is done in a continuous spiral.   Crocheting in a round is very easy and, using a circular needle, knitting in the round can be very simple too.

We also have two new projects for the Knifty Knitter circular loom.

Enjoy!

Eco-Friendly Shopping Bag

We were inspired by the new Lion Organic Cotton to create this fantastic, stretchy bag -- it holds a TON of stuff but collapses easily.  Lion Organic Cotton is not dyed, but grows naturally in brown, green and white!

Because the bottom and the handle are all one piece, knit on circular needles, the handle won't ever come off.

Let the store keep their paper or plastic and take your bag shopping again and again!
