Knitted and felted accessories are "in" right now, and consequently there have been numerous knitting project books for bags, purses, backpacks, and pocketbooks. This one is definitely the cream of the crop-with patterns for 21 bags featuring a variety of techniques, including felting, patchwork knitting, beaded fringe, mosaic knitting, mitered knitting, and needle felting. Projects range from easy to intermediate in skill level and feature the artful photography and clear layout that subscribers to Knitter's magazine expect. Highly recommended for knitting collections.
