The reel to reel tape recorder was the predecessor to the cassette tape and, although a little bulky, produced high quality recordings. There is something very satisfying about the image which conjures up nostalgic memories and makes a wonderful silhouette. The striking design for this tote bag is knitted using the intarsia method for the main body. The reels are knitted separately and worked in short row shaping, then attached to the bag with a button.
