The Crossroads Carryall is a sturdy, lined linen bag big enough to hold your knitting, books, and supplies for a weekend adventure. The two-tone color scheme and curved upper body make this bag useful and attractive. The plaited basketweave stitch worked with two strands of worsted-weight linen gives this bag its solid construction; the applied cord edging, leather handles, and sewn-in lining provide a polished look.
