Namaste Everyday Knitting Bag I loved my bag because it was professional enough to bring to work (otherwise I bring my backpack, which just doesn't look professional at all), but I had grossly overstuffed the bag. The handles broke and I put the bag aside, thinking to email them or seek out recommendations for the repair, because the repair looked to be a simple one.
I'm pretty lazy, so I only got around to emailing them about the bag about a year after the handles gave. But once I emailed them things moved quickly. I brought the bag to the post office, sent it back priority and was sent a replacement. I got my replacement last night. So, I began the careful transferral of materials into my knitting bag. Small project, check. Smaller project, check. Small trade paperback, check. Games and other tech? Check. Of course, I forgot my thumb drive for homework, so obviously the transfer of stuff was not perfect. C'est la vie.
I'm hoping to keep this bag in much better condition, so I figured I'd leave the blanket at home. I put the ribwarmer in the bag and then tossed in the project I started last night (yup, another project - giving me random test Christmas stockings, the ribwarmer and the blanket as my big projects).
The new project? Christmas ornaments. Little bits of icord which I plan to braid together and hide the connecting area under a beaded bail of peyote stitch. I have a ton of seed beads, and if these come together as I hope, then I will have a good item to sell at the holiday bazaar. Every year I do this. Try and find something interesting, but not too time consuming to knit for the bazaar. Maybe this will be the year where most of it sells.
