Just When You Least Expect It...A Knitting Bag Will Be Found

See this beauty!. Gorgeous eggplant -- one of my favorite shades in the purple family. 8 outside pockets, the inside divided into 2 large pockets with a narrow pocket that closes with velcro, and a shoulder handle. The latter is my only complaint and after a trip tomorrow to JoAnne's Fabric Store and a purchase of sticky-backed velcro this bag will be perfect. The bag's woven fabric is waterproof so has an unusual texture and is very lightweight.

As you can see this one nicely holds a sock project and shawlette project, with my knitting accessories in the interior pocket and my small box of coilness metal pins in one outside pocket. My Blackberries fit into other pockets as well as a small wallet. Great to take to knitting meetings.

Bags just seem to pop up everywhere...this one at at the Nittany Kennel Club dog show this weekend. The bag is designed for use as a ringside equipment bag for those who show dogs and horses. I saw a lot of people with this particular style and similar ones.

The bag is open at the top so I will have to be careful that Teddy Bear and Timber don't try to knit one more time...yes they have tried in the past but their paws are too large for this hobby.

Once you are a knitter, you see knitting bags everywhere! It does look like a great project bag.

Do not put velcro to hold the top together your yarn will catch on the loop side as you knit and pull it out, go to Walmart or even Joanne's and get a big, as in nickle size, snap and sew it on works much better. If you can't find one let me know I have some and will send it to you.

Only you could go to a dog show and come up with a knitting bag.
