"Maya Jade"

I just love this bag. I am using it for my knitting bag. I take my knitting with me when I go out n this bag allows me to carry my knitting with me and to use it as a purse as well. I can even put my water bottle in it. It is as cute as a bug in a rug as well as being very functionally appealing.

This lively tote has plenty of room for everything with being heavy or bulky. The pattern is lively and unique.
