A loom with two shafts, some cotton and wool, rows of simple knots, and a handful of beads add up to a lively little bag.

Editor’s Note: As I was planning how to celebrate Linda Ligon’s 50 years in publishing, I gave myself the very distinct pleasure of tracking down her projects that were published in Handwoven over the years. Her work (dozens of designs, and I’m not certain I found them all) includes scarves, shawls, table runners, placemats, pillowcases, clothing for adults and for children, a book binding, a rag rug, and so much more.
The exuberance of Linda’s Shaggy Bag Story, originally published in the September/October 2008 issue, caught my eye. For the Winter 2025 issue, we updated it with a note about yarns and we broke the project into steps, but her voice still comes through loud and clear: “You can weave this! Have fun with it!"
Find the Shaggy Bag Story project in the Winter 2025 issue of Handwoven, or head to the library to access the project PDF.—Lynn
The goal for this little bag is to give you ideas to try out. I planned to use fleece
