Kimmy is a fun to work messenger style bag with gorgeous results. This is a great “teaching” pattern as it has complete text as well as complete charts so you can choose to work from either. Also there are many free on-line You Tube video tutorials that cover techniques such as:
~How to work a slip stitch row
~How to work a provisional cast on (though you may also work the easier long tail cast on)
~How to work a 3 needle bind off
and more. You can see these videos at SheknitsSharonD’s video channel at any time.
