| Choosing a Knitting Bag |
|
What makes the perfect knitting bag is different for every knitter. Someone who exclusively knits socks and small projects is going to want something completely different from someone who knits sweaters or afghans. What Goes in a Knitting Bag? Before you go shopping for a knitting bag, you'll need to consider the projects you make most often. If you range between large and small projects, you might want to buy or make both large and small bags. At the very least, your knitting bag should have room for the following: * Your project in various stages of completion, along with the needles it is on. * The yarn you are currently using for your project. * An extra ball of yarn in case you do a lot of knitting away from home. * Any additional needles you need to complete your project. * The pattern you are working on. * Scissors, a yarn needle, stitch holders, and any other small supplies you might need for your project. * Lotion or balm for your hands. You might also want to include an extra pair of needles and a little ball of yarn if you're a knitting evangelist and like to be able to teach other people to knit when the spot you knitting in public. Some knitting bags claim to double as a purse. If that's something you're interested in, check the dimensions to make sure all your knitting gear and your necessary purse stuff will fit inside.
