Come join us in the [**Knittingnonstop Designs**][1] group. Share your WIP, FO's and ask any pattern questions.
The pattern says to use a size 17 or 15. I prefer the size 15 because I get a tighter and more pronounced cable. This will depend on how tightly you knit.
In addition to the yarn you will need:
- One pair of purse handles. (Purchased mine at JoAnn Fabrics)
- Approximately 1 1/2 yards of ribbon.
- fray check to keep the ends of your ribbon looking perfect.
- Fabric to line your bag.
Yarn substitutes: Rowan Big Wool, Encore Mega, Wool-Ease Thick & Quick.
**Tutorials:** How to seam the bag sides and attach the handles. Can be found [here][2] or on my [blog][3].
