Unbiased (Knitting)

£0.00

To me, this bag is a number of things.

It was the first “proper” knitting project I ever completed. No boring scarf for me! 😉
Finding and purchasing the yarn to make this bag allowed me to find the mill that then led to my setting up Fibres Exotica!
The pattern was pretty much the first pattern that used Recycled Sari Silk and showed it to the world.
It’s wonderful.

Note that I added an extra in-pattern panel across the mouth of the bag after I’d been using it for a few weeks; things kept falling out of it with the deep V opening as the pattern is written. Lots of other people agree with me, lots of other people knit and use as is.

Either way, I love my Unbiased, and I hope that you will enjoy yours too.
