Introducing the Accordion Bag

We are excited to introduce another unique knitting pattern with Lanas Puras Melosa yarn. This is the first of several felted patterns to come. Lanas Puras Melosa felts beautifully according to our design team! Watch this space for more felted patterns, sock patterns, patterns for skirts and a dress, baby items, and adult sweaters!!

The Accordion Bag pattern was designed by Gryphon Perkins. Gryphon is a multi talented designer and fiber artist, who describes her entry into the world of knitting, fiber art and design "As we all know, fiber is highly addictive stuff. I took up the needles about three years ago, the spinning wheel a year later and dyeing a year after that. In the last year, I began selling my designs, several to Interweave, and began to find that my job was increasingly interfering with my fiber time. The only conclusion was to quit and pursue my habit full time. As a result, I now run a little spinning/yarn shop out of my home in Easton, Maryland where I sell spinning wheels, roving, handspun and handpainted yarns, teach spinning and knitting, and continue to swatch furiously and publish my designs. I have wild dreams of starting my own yarn company, publishing dozens of gorgeous knitting books, and having a farm populated with every sort of fiber animal there is. Let it be noted that my husband is an extremely good humored and indulgent man. " You can read about Gryphon's adventures on her blog or can help support her habit by visiting her ETSY shop.



The Accordion Bag pattern is a beginner/intermediate project that uses only two skeins of Lanas Puras Melosa worsted weight yarn. It's a chic bag that is quick to knit and is great for carrying a small knitting project or your essentials for an evening out.
