I've updated the shop with my new knitting bags,
The Knitters Messenger & The Knitters Mini
A Knitting bag designed by a knitter for knitters.
I have spent years searching out the perfect knitting bag.
It
needs room. It needs pockets for all my stuff. It needs a bag my
project won't fall out of. It needs enough depth that a ball of yarn
will sit flat on the bottom. It needs to be sturdy enough that my
needles don't poke through it. It needs a million other picky things I
can't think of at this minute.
Oportunity knocked when I was
participating in a swap and needed to make a bag. I seached out a tote
bag pattern, super cute fabric, and whipped one up. Then requests
starting comming in for me to make more. I looked at my favorite bags,
thought about how I wished they were differnt, and the Knitter's
Messenger was born!
The Knitters Messenger
Big
enough for any project you can throw at it. I folded up a chunky throw
and carried it to a play in one of these! But it sits confortably at
the waist for easy carrying.
14.5" wide * 10.5" tall * 4" deep
The strap is 2" wide & approx. 45" long
2 pocket on the flap, 1 pocket on the end, 1 divided pocket on the front, & 1 divided pocket in the inside
Totally free from yarn hazards such as zippers, velcro, sharp objects, or fraying edges.
The bags are completely lined with all edges concealed.
The Knitters Mini
The
Miniture Messenger is designed for your small projects like socks or a
lovely lace scarf. The side pocket is the perfect size to fit a credit
card for those yarn emergencies. The divided pocket inside can carry
all those little notions, crochet hooks or short double point needles.
9" wide * 6.5" tall * 4" deep
The strap width varies by fabric & is approx. 45" long
1 pocket on the end & 1 divided pocket on the inside
Totally free from yarn hazards such as zippers, velcro, sharp objects, or fraying edges.
The bags are completely lined with all edges concealed.
As a side note:
I popped in the DVD of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy while I was getting the shop updated.... Just to kinda watch out of the corner of my eye.
As I caught bits of it I was a bit confused.
~It seemed to follow the books better than I remembered.
~I didn't recognize the actors
~It was way more campy than I seemed to recall
~And it kept playing credits in the middle of scenes.
About an hour & a half into it I realized what happened (now remember I was only half watching so give me a break here) I put in the DVD of the BBC production from the eighties or early nineties not the recent movie.
Yep.
Quite delightful to watch, but not what I thought I was watching...
and unfortunately it doesn't contain an entire scene created in yarn.
