Knitted Workbag from Needlecraft, Dec. 1915 (pattern, p. 11 of this pdf)

I'm knitting it in plain old dishcloth cotton, nothin' fancy. The plan is to dye it when I'm done, line it, and substitute handles of some kind for the drawstring that the pattern calls for. I don't do drawstrings.

It's a pretty quick-and-easy pattern, despite any antique-pattern weirdness, but I just got a couple of commissioned projects, so I hope I actually manage to finish this by the end of the month! ;)
