Knitting Bag Three

Here's another from my collection of knitting bags.

It's a heavy-ish cardboard suitase that I got in Avoca Handweavers last December. It's about a foot wide. (Sorry, none left, they sold out very quickly.!)

I didn't exactly NEED it, but could I resist that printed stocking stitches in those Andy Warhol-y colours? You bet I couldn't.



And it holds quite a lot too.

Here's the Louisa Harding Grace & Wool scarf swatch which I mentioned in January. (BTW, this picture is a far truer representation of the colour than the bluey image in the earlier post.)

It's great for holding sharp pointy things (like dpns) that otherwise might poke through a fabric bag and stab you in the leg when you're trying to feed children and knit at the same time. It happens.

Knitting Bag Two

And continuing the theme, here's another Knit Bag from The Bag Lady. It's a miniature one for Little Monkey (aged-almost-7-years-old).




Little Monkey loves it of course. And here's her Very First knitting project. A scarf in alternating purple velour and a multi-coloured ribbon yarn.



Cute innit? That kitten really does it for me. (For those interested, the kitten was cut from another fabric and appliqued).

Knitting Bag One

Continuing with the theme of where does one keep one's stash, I've got a good one for you.

Exhibit A, Armchair with 2 innocent cushions. Let they be entered into evidence as Cushion A and Cushion B. Entirely innocent don't you think?

Not so! Cushions B is in fact a cunning patchwork knitting bag, made by my Mum (a.k.a. The Bag Lady) who makes exquisite quilts and bags of all sorts. Of these more anon. It's a great knitting bag, comfortable, sturdy, pretty and holds a bundle.

Lucky me.
