My latest project is for the bag KAL I just joined. The challenge is to knit and felt a bag that has colour work. An image, wording, whatever you want to knit into it using a chart. Being a novice knitter who only began knitting for the first time a short while ago, I haven't had the chance to add this technique to my arsenal of knitting weapons. After days and days of searching and thinking, I've decided to try my hand a Fair Isle as opposed to my first choice of intarsia. This pattern below will be worked with Patons Classic Merino in dark grey and leaf green. You should be able to click on the link and get to the site where I found the pattern.



I knitted and frogged, knitted and frogged, until I finally decided to knit in the round. This way the pattern will be all around the bag. My plan is to sew up the bottom in the end. Maybe I'll put a rectangular bottom in it, I'm not sure. All I know is knitting in the round is much easier than going back and forth on straight needles!
