Baglove

If you spin (and we do!), youve probably accumulated a bunch of small skeins of handspun yarn (like we have!).
Whether its from trying out different fibers, or plying together a bunch of leftover singles, the smaller bits of yarn
grow and grow, until finally you think, There has got to be something I can make out of this!
So we did. This is a really basic, simple bag pattern, designed to use just a bit of that leftover handspun. Its the
perfect size for carrying a ball of sock yarn around, if you happen to be knitting on the go, or you could stash any
other smallish, miscellaneous goodies you happen to need to carry in there. It a simple little bag. It can be knit in
under three hours. It uses up some of your awesome handspun (because all handspun is awesome!). And its really
cute. Its Baglove!
