It's all about me!

I finished making a knitting bag for myself the other day!

There are some things about this design I would tweak if I ever make this bag again (including the use of said serger) but on the whole I'm tickled pink.

  1. So very cute and looks to be a very useful style. I use to knit and crochet more in my younger years, but only very simple patterns. Looks great and it is fun to make something for yourself isn't it. :)
