In the Author's Words....
"In almost every culture that I have researched, the making and using of containers is significant to daily life. People everywhere use containers of some sort to organize, carry, and store things. And people everywhere make containers that are worthy of display. I have engineered my own daily appreciation of beauty - and the importance of a good container - through the collection of bags I present here. My intention is to provide knitters at all levels of expertise with a wide variety of construction and project choices. With that goal in mind, I have created a diverse group of bags that range in size, shape, colour, use, and difficulty.
Just as a splash of color or a visible brush stroke in a painting draws the eye, I have incorporated unique design elements in each bag to spark your interest. May each bag capture the attention of the knitter who makes it, the person who carries it, and the one who admires it. Perhaps all those people will be you. Enjoy!" (pg 8)
From the publisher.....
Folk Bags
"Bags are essential for living - whether walking to a neighbor's house or going to the store. And Vicki Square's contemporary interpretations of these 30 folk designs are truly extraordinary. Each one is inspired by traditional folk bags or folk art from 23 different countries including Nepal, Tibet, Japan, Ireland, Ecuador, and Guatemala. You'll find bags in all shapes, colors, textures, and sizes for work, play, or for a special evening on the town. Included are the Guatemalan saddlebag, the Persian-carpet-inspired handbag, the fish-shaped Japanese felted bag, the Bolivian doll bag, and the Moroccan tile bag. A brief cultural history and how it inspired Vicki's design preface each pattern, all of which are accompanied by step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations. Knitters of every skill level are sure to be intrigued by the versatile and imaginative designs in this unique collection. This is the sixth book in Interweave Press's Folk series."
