“This simple bag turns heads. It could also be called the "Baby Bear Bag" because it is "just right." Just the right size to take lunch to work or carry a knitting project, just right for embellishing, just right to garner compliments wherever you go! PLUS, it is just right for teaching students how-to pick-up stitches, knit in the round and make an i-cord-style strap. You'll enjoy the learning experience and love the finished product.“ ~Joan
