However, once I started knitting, I realized I needed a bag to put all my knitting things in. I was using a small Rocky Mountain Soap Company bag, but it wasn't quite cutting it. I had a brilliant idea for what I wanted in a bag to keep things organized. So, I designed one and made it. Today.
In order to do that, I had to first enlist The Guy for help. We picked up the table I needed which had been left at the church after the wedding. We set it up, ran power for it, and I set up a sewing area. It looks great! I'm starting to get organized and it took care of one more thing on my list of things I wanted to accomplish. So, I started to sew.
Here is the final product. I've found a few things I would change about it, but it's just the prototype for me, so it's okay. I plan to make many others now that I have this layout and either give them away or sell them. It didn't take too long, so I figure it will be okay.
Vintage 70s Fortrell which I picked up from a coworker's MiL when she moved.
I've been dying to use it.

It has four slots for tall needles and 4 for shorter ones.

One large pocket with flap (large enough to hold a 6" ruler)
and two open pockets for miscellaneous.

ReplyDeleteBag Lady. Old Bag Lady.
ReplyDeleteMake one for Tanya, too. she will love it.
I am ordering my bag now. That is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI want one!
ReplyDeleteI would buy one if you made another one. Seriously. And pay for shipping. That is how badly I want one.
Oh, Bronwyn, such talent just beginning to show itself, combined with a little compulsive behavior, the sky is the limit. Go Girl.
ReplyDeleteBronwyn, when did you turn 70? Oh I think I got my answer. My word verification is wedings.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic bag! I'm so glad that you have your sewing area set up now.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bag! I think with a bag like that I wouldn't be scared to progress from knitting straight flat things to knitting touques and mittens and sweaters (oh my!).
ReplyDeleteI want to learn to knit now so that I can request one! But my follow-thru is poor, so it's a longshot -- your creative genius blows my mind though! :)
ReplyDeleteHa. My brother is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWow! You guys are all so nice. I mean, except for my brother and Lyn. You two can bite me. The rest? Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteLove the bag. I'd love to barter something gluten free for one. I suspect that it would be more like many gluten free things.
