Description from Knitty.com:

As a mathematician, I wanted to incorporate some numbers that have personal importance into a project and see what would happen. I simply cast on, stitched repeats of some of my favorite numbers (in this case I used multiples of 11), used simple increases and decreases for shaping, and knit in the round until my eyes and hands were satisfied. Then, I strung simple crochet cords through the eyelets created by the yarn over increases, and this bag was born. I quickly took notes, knowing that I wanted to create another one, this time felted. I also wanted to use a color combination I am fond of, as well as one of my favorite yarns in the world (wool by Manos del Uruguay).
