Do you remember "Art Linkletter-Kids Say The Darndest Things" (<--click) (perhaps on reruns) with the cute kids who told it like it was when posed a question? Of course, like your kids or grandkids, they were as cute as buttons. Mr. Linkletter used to also go up in the audience and ask women to share the contents of their handbags with the viewing audience. If someone had a prenamed unusual item (such as a boiled egg), they would win a prize.
Speaking of bags, so what is in your knitting bag? Here's what I have in mine.
I purchased this Debbie Mumm quilting bag at Jo'Ann's for 40% off with coupon. I thought it was very appropriate as a knitting bag. Final price was about $10.00 I didn't particularly like the fabric or the colors. I have a gazillion bags but this one really served the purpose. Let me show you why.
There are three main sections as well as an outside pocket. I like the fact that it is zippered so I don't accidentally loose a needle or other item.- First section has three individual zippered clear view pockets that hold my: stitch markers (Altoid metal container...perfect!)
- Yarn sewing needles (again in metal container)
- Measuring Tape
- Scissors
- Stitch Holders
- My business cards (I lose the bag and they know who it belongs to.)
- Cable Needles
- Row Counters
- Needle Inventory Card (which never seems to be up-t0-date)
- Gauge Ruler (which looks impressive but I hardly ever use it)
- Post It Notes (used to easily locate a pattern in a book)
- Nail file (don't want to make pulls in my yarn)
- Cell phone or small clock to remind me I have other things in my life to do besides knitting
- Yarn Requirement Chart (I don't know how I ever lived without this.)
- My trusty crochet hook
- Energy bar (exercising those knitting fingers ..well!)
- Calculator
The third section holds my project of the day along with the pattern. Again it has zippered pockets within this section.
But, what really sold me on this bag is the 2nd or middle section which very comfortably holds..........
my Denise Needles and protects the case and makes for easy portability. Tell me what is in your bag!!!!
Happy Knitting!
