The Giles bag was inspired by the master of super sized cables, Giles Deacon. It uses 3 strands of Rowan Little Big Wool to create a fabric with individual stitches of half an inch in height, so not surprisingly this bag knits up incredibly quickly.

Materials required are as follows:

Materials

67% wool/33% nylon (50gm—66 yards / 60 metres approx)
