The paper bag. A bag to hold things. A utilitarian object. Quite practical and never really pretty. Until now.
Wild Purls recently received in a new “yarn”. You can barely call it yarn because it truly is paper. What used to be plain and brown is now pretty and colorful. It’s a “yarn” from a Spanish vendor, Katia, most aptly, called “Paper” (yes, this is washable).

Our first thought was, “Wow, what are we going to knit with that?” That thinking lasted only a second before our brains started spinning.
I said a bag, Connie said a hat, Julia said a table runner! And that is exactly what we did!

I knit a bag (a paper bag . . . and completely lined!)

Connie crocheted a hat (complete with bow),

and Julia is knitting a table runner! (uncompleted, but lots of promise!)

Now, if Julia could drink more caffeine and thrive on less sleep, this could be done tomorrow!
