I knitted a couple of small bags on 0000 needles with No.8 perle cotton,
but since I was doing Fairisle and a little intarsia, I didn't use any
beads. My largest bag was five or six inches across. I just made a
drawstring to close it. but that was fun - I downloaded instructions
for fingerloop braiding and used five different colors, one for each
loop.
