I remeber the first time I saw a felted purse. It was very small but it had a big impact on me . . . I had never seen the way that knitting could become a three-dimensional object with structure and so much architectural integrity and durability. I wanted that. And so knitted felt became a canvas for my creativity: I loved making my own fabric. I loved that my bags and totes and purses were exactly what I wanted: understated and neutral or vibrant and whimsical, covered with flowers, or bold with sleek hardware, big and roomy for weekend adventures, or tiny and romantic, for my own secret pleasure.

Noni bags allow you to have the same intimate and creative relationship with the purses you carry, the totes you put your knitting in, the bags you carry to the farmer's market.
In this class, you get to make all the decisions when it comes to the Magnolia Tote or Medallion Travel Bag you carry: what colors it is, how long the handles are, whether it is lined, how many pockets it has, how it is decorated, and whether there are matching accessory purses for all your must-have possessions.
In this class you will choose from one of two patterns to make your own fabulous, felted, colorwork bag. Choose between the brand new Magnolia Tote and the classic Medallion Travel Bag. These gorgeous bags demand you look. And admire. And now you can make one that is uniquely yours. . . and even make your own luggage set!
This is your opportunity to make one of these beautiful felted totes with the help, guidance, and expert finishing tips and tricks from the designer herself. Nora will take you from picking out colors, to casting on, through the knitting, to felting, to fine finishing, to embellishing.
In this class, consisting of 8 classroom hours of instruction, plus personal help when you need it, you will learn new skills and refine existing ones:
Dates of the instruction and practice classes: 2-hour meetings from 9 - 11am every other Saturday (to give you time to knit!): May 8, May 22, and June 5 and June 19.
Dates of check-in meetings in the evenings from 7 - 8 pm on alternate Thursdays: May 13, May 27, June 10, and June 17.
Class Size: The class is limited to 10 participants so everyone gets individualized attention during our meetings. Each participant also receives 30 minutes of individualized meeting time and "emergency" support when needed.
See the Additional Details tab for prerequisites and materials.
Class size limited to 10 people so we can have an intimate, student-focused learning environment.

The Magnolia Tote is as practical as she is striking. Her personality changes with her styling: she is my favorite farmer's market companion; with her sides pulled out straight, she is roomy enough for orchard-ripe apples, fresh kale, collards, multi-colored carrots, and fresh, home-grown mushrooms. Once home and divested of her treasures, tuck in the sides for a more efficient silhouette: she is ideal for shopping in narrow store aisles. Keep the top snapped but reach in the sides for your wallet, or snap your tiny purse,

Her personality changes with her styling: she is my favorite farmer's market companion; with her sides pulled out straight, she is roomy enough for orchard-ripe apples, fresh kale, collards, multi-colored carrots, and fresh, home-grown mushrooms. Once home and divested of her treasures, tuck in the sides for a more efficient silhouette: she is ideal for shopping in narrow store aisles. Keep the top snapped but reach in the sides for your wallet, or snap your tiny purse, Ready, Set, Go!, to the JUL leather handle (like I always do), and your cash and cards are at the ready when you get to check out.
Felted bags are naturally insulated, so this tote is as great for picnics as it is for your latest knitting project.
The finishing can be minimal, as you see here: the top edge is secured and strctured by an Amazing Snap flanked by two rivet-in snaps hidden behind the JUL flat-strap 28 inch Forager handles. I left the bottom soft so she can drape against my side. For a more structured, formal appearance, the finishing can be more elaborate, with a structred bottom decorated with bag feet, a pocket filled lining, and even embroidery! Let Magnolia be the latest canvas for your creativity.
This pattern is also for sale on Ravelry.
See the Additional Details tab below for information about pattern difficulty, finished dimensions, gauge, required materials, and other information about the pictured samples.
Intrepid Intermediate to Experienced Knitters: pattern requires knowledge of knitting and purling using stranded color work methods with careful attention to maintaining an even tension. Requires knitting flat, knitting in the round on circular needles, and picking up stitches. Sewing is used in the finishing process for more elaborate finishing details.

The height is 13.5" (17.5cm) from bottom edge to top edge

10 sts and 12 rows over 4” (10cm) with double-stranded worsted weight yarn on size 11 (8mm) needle worked in color pattern. Variations in gauge may result in a differently sized unfelted and thus felted tote.
