Kaixo Friend!

Love a big bag with room for all of your books, laptops, and more? If so, you'll love this simple-yet-stylish courier bag loom-woven with our Martha Stewart Crafts^TM Knit & Weave Loom Kit, perfect for both guys and girls on the go!

Courier (messenger) bags are so smart and functional, they'll never go out of style. Expert loom knitter and weaver Noreen Crone-Findlay was our guest-designer for this project. Using Martha Stewart Crafts^TM Lion Brand Cotton Hemp, she shares step-by-step instructions on how to separately loom weave and assemble the different pieces of this sturdy and durable bag. Click here for the photo-illustrated pattern.

This shoulder bag can be woven in a variety of color combinations, making it perfect for both men and women. Tailor this bag for the guy in your life by using a smaller button or snaps to fasten it shut.  For extra convenience, the bag is also assembled with inside pockets to fit all your accessories from keys to pens to knitting needles and crochet hooks!

Next time you think about buying that new bag to carry around your yarn projects or necessities, try making your own! It will be more satisfying.

As always, keep playing and keep creating!

Your friends,
