Since it is almost a new year, the time for cleaning up life, I decided to organize my knitting bag. I was carrying around three-month-old magazines and scraps of yarn from previous projects. It feels so good to have everything organized and ready to knit through 2011.
This bag is a Pleated Tote from Vera Bradley. The pattern and shape remind me of a grandma's carpet bag...I adore it.
So here it is, down to the bare minimum. Of course my current project is in my bag at all times along with my Instax Mini (for taking inspiration photos) and iPod.
I like to keep extra needles and hooks in my bag too, just in case I need to adjust my gauge. I also keep an idea notebook close by to draw out my ideas so I won't forget.
In this little pouch I keep my tape measure, tapestry needle, scissors, stitch counter, cable needle, and stitch markers.
I wonder how long it will stay this pretty....?
Don't forget to enter the giveaway for some of my wrist warmers still happening below! Giveaway ends on January 2.
Cute bag! I have been trying to organize for 2011 as well - if only I could keep it that way ;)
ReplyDeleteKudos for your organization skills! I'm scared to empty out my knitting bag! Who knows what I'll find hiding in there! LOL Anyways, I've entered your contest several times below. *fingers crossed* I actually just found your blog the other day. It's wonderful to find other etsy knitters! Good luck with your sales in the new year!

Thank you both!
ReplyDeleteThanks for entering the giveaway too!! :-)
HAHA, I thought it said 'in my PLEASED tote' instead of 'pleated!' :) I'm sure that tote is very pleased to have all your knitting goodies inside it :) Think I'm off to do some knitting myself now, you have inspired me! Katie. xxx
