It's all about me!

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



This is the first bag I've made expressly for my own little self in the longest time. Most of the bags and wallets I use are either prototypes or goof-ups. I'd seen so many cute knitting bags like this one on Etsy that I wanted one too. I adapted a commercial pattern to make it capacious enough and I used my serger, which has been sadly neglected of late. 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.


Here's a peek inside with the latest example of my sock obsession. This yarn + this pattern = the coolest socks ever....blog post forthcoming.

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. :)

Very nice and spacious bag! I don't knit, but I've recently been obsessed with making pom poms, just for myself... Thanks for your post on my blog, great to hear from you again.

I really like the material you used for that bag and the style of it. It's blockish but very cool!

And congrats on the rockin' badge! You deserve it! :)
