[NFB-Krafters-Korner] another question

[Courtney F. Smith]

I have made several bags by  knitting in the round and sewing up one end to make a square bag.

I think, if you're making a bookbag, knitting flat might be better, because
you want it to come out flattish.  In which case, you need to have selvedge
stitches on both sides to seam it together.

Thanks, Have you done this before? I just love this list! I'm going to do
this with cotton yarn until I have the size of book bag I like, and sew the
bottom together, and fold down the top with the draw string inside the fold
down, and sew it in place. I usually use a size 5 needle for dishcloths, so
that is what I will do. I'll let you know how it works out. My yarn is
variegated, so I'm not going to change color like Tracey suggested, but it
sounds fun for a different project. It just occurred to me that this would
be good for a potholder.
I better get busy.
Bernice

Yes, you would need an odd number so that your first stitch on every row,
your selvage stitch, would be good.
