Rambunctious and Fun!

Paula King is our latest Independent Designer.  She created this jubilant Merengue Knot Bag.  The amazing, sculptural ruffles are thanks to the magic of felting.  Knit this bag at a large, loose gauge, then toss it in the washing machine and watch it transform!  Felting hides all kinds of faults, so this pattern would be perfect for someone who wanted to try out some new techniques.

The knot bag closure is so simple and effective.  It's perfect for hanging around your wrist on quick errands or at a party.  Make your colors as loud or as quiet as you like; the possibilities are endless!

Paula decided on Noro À La Mode and Kureopatora for her bags.  Even though the À La Mode isn't 100% wool, her experiments have shown that it felts just fine.  She opted for a complementary solid and striped combo, but imagine two solids, or all stripes, or....so many options!
