If you please, I would LOVE some pointers (or website addresses) of some REALLY good instructions on purse linings. I just can't wrap my brain around it and would appreciate some help. THANKS in advance.

I love my felted bags! I was one of those who knit a bag or two and then lost a pen, a lip balm and a very expensive lipstick through holes in the bags. Felting solves the problems--I have carried my bag for three months and everyone comments on it (and a couple have tried to empty it and walk off with it! LOL).
I want to try a squatty next in some bright-bright colors for summer.
What I'd also like to see is a really small bag for a motorcycle rider who needs to carry stuff but can't have anything that flaps or bangs around--small straps, a zipper closure and a kick-ass design!

I'm a woman and a knitter and also don't get knitted bags. Maybe small purses, or maybe felted bags, if I liked felted things. But knits stretch, that's why we like them and want to wear them, and for this same reason, that's why they don't make the best bags. Knowing how to crochet and knit, I recognize that some things are better suited to one craft than another. And bags are better suited to be woven or sewn, then possibly crocheted, but last, knit. They may look okay, but I just can't believe they will hold their shape under lots of weight.
