Thanks for the pattern. Yesterday I set up my Chunky for the first time since moving nearly seven years ago and I just ordered new spongebars, you can imagine the state they were in!!! I'll try the bag as soon as the bars arrive! I've been felting knitting from my stanard guage machine so doing something a bit thicker will be fun!! Sue
Thanks! Will look forward to seeing your bag!
