My house is full of project bags. The best are of a size and sturdiness that means I can grab them as I’m running out of the house to make sure I am never without something to knit. Who knows when you might get caught in a train strike, a traffic jam or a dentist’s waiting room and need something to occupy your time? Knitted bags aren’t always the most resilient, but this one combines a strong recycled wool with a sturdy slip stitch pattern, so will stand up to a bit of rough treatment. It is big enough for small to medium projects such as socks, shawls or lightweight jumpers. The handle is also wide enough to slip over your wrist for bus stop or train platform knitting.

This pattern is exclusive to JOMO Knits by Christine Boggis which is available to purchase via GMC Books and GMC Publications.
