Knitting Notions
November 21st, 2006
I don’t have a fancy knitting bag with all sorts of handy pockets and sections to travel with me. I have an inherited simple tapestry knitting bag, that has really served me well so far. It feels almost as if I could fit anything in it, like a Mary Poppins endless bag. It’s small enough to fit in my backpack, yet I’ve been able to fit 3-4 small projects at any one time. The only problem I’ve had with this, is keeping track of little things. I like to have a sewing tape measure, tapestry needles, spare row/stitch counter, and other small things with me. Just recently I started a new project that requires lots of stitch markers, so those need to go with me too.
While I was cleaning out the living room the other day, I found a tin from some Christmas chocolates that looked like it would work perfectly to fit these little notions in. It turns out it works great! If I ever get one of those little more-portable-than-scissors yarn cutters, I can fit that in there too. Now if only it would fit index cards, and I could put my abbreviated patterns in there too!
You really are a knitting nerd
Of course I am!
