I have a serious knitting bag problem. I have so many but still am always looking for a new one! My all-time favorite though is the Tom Bihn "Swift" bag. It is awesome. It's made specifically for knitters and they come in fantastic colors. I currently have two "Swift" knitting bags, along with two Namaste, two SmithBag project bags, two fantastic "garden" bags from Cracker Barrel that are beautiful and loaded in pockets.

Having been a serious "crafter" for many years, I have had my share of hidyholes for many of my UFOs. Recently, I decided to share my many needlecraft hobbies with my friends and this led to me starting a website and blog of my own. Just today, I received a call from a dear lady who has been looking high and low for the perfect knitting bag. She described something I remember my grandmother using; a fabric bag that was suspended between a folding frame. This dear lady asked if I could locate something like this for her.

It has been a chore, but with the help of Grampy (my computer genius) I located several. This one seems to be my favorite so far www.ecrater.com/product.php. I do not know who the seller is, but I'm sure that this is the perfect choice for the dear lady that called me. I know it is exactly like the one that my grandmother used when I was small. It brought back so many memories.

Some of my favorite bags for knitting projects are the clear plastic zippered or snapped ones that new blankets, sheet sets and curtains come in. There are many sizes, for different sized projects. You can see through them so locating the UFO you want is easy. It feels great to reuse them, too!

If anyone has a set of the KIPer bags that they don't like or want, I'd be interested in buying them. Knit Picks doesn't carry them anymore. I just love the ONE I bought some time ago so I'd love to have the set. The large bag I bought is big enough to stuff a sweater project in, plus stuff for my little dog, soda and the purse necessities and still zips!! That impresses me!

I dislike rooting around in a bag so I use a carpenters bag. It has 6 pockets on the outside and multiple pockets of different sizes on the inside perimeter will hold all of my tools, Knitters Companion book, notepad and knitting journal. It opens wide so I can see everything in it (reminds me of a doctors bag)and zips shut. It can carry multiple small wips or a sweater project. The bag sits beside my chair, on the other side a foldable framed tote used a queue for my projects in waiting (piw?). I have had the capenters bag for more than 10 years and doubt it will ever wear out. For on the go knitting I carry a small organized purse which can fit a sock size wip along a clear cosmetic bag with markers, tape measure, darning needle,scissors, etc.

I'm late with this because I was away, but still: My bag is a bent-wood one, bought at Hobby Lobby. I got it for the sake of keeping my bamboo dpns in the single pieces they are supposed to be. To keep yarn from snagging inside, I lightly sanded everywhere. Not bad for $8!

BTW, I don't know how to get on the >current< blog of a KD post. All the links on the bags post went to previous blogs. Sandi, I hope you or someone else at KD will make sure the links go to the right place! Thanks!

I am a bag who...uh, harlot. I have bags older than my sons...don't ask their ages. I just got back from visiting my sister in the big city. Major yarn shopping was done due to me living in the boonies over 170 miles from the closest yarn shop. Now that I have done my shopping, I can disclose my bag crack den. Find a Garden Ridge store! For $3 each, I got tapestry totes that are 4"d x 10"x12", sporting not only a velcro closure, but zip also. Then there is the deep pocket on one side that velcro's closed and the zip pocket on the other side. I got one with seashells on black, horses for my preggers niece, and my fav...white tapestry with some kind of animal that looks suspiciously like a llama...or a goat. I got a couple of other larger totes for $5 each...tapestry again. It was a gold mine and I had to make myself quit. I now have a good example to go by to make more tapestry totes.
My sister freaked when I pulled out my addi bag...it is a bank bag she gave me when she worked at a bank....20+years ago!
I don't need designer bags...too cliche. Bag ladies are more creative.

I have a Namaste vintage bag that I move my projects around the house in. I have a Jordana Paige Bella bag that I carry my project out of the house in, and I have a Namaste Everyday bag that I use for traveling or when I only want to carry one bag. Love 'em all, need some more.

I am lucky enough to have inherited a mostly-orange 1970s paisley-patterned bag (currently trendy) from my mom. It has snaps on the outside to allow it to be enlarged or made smaller, a few pockets, and top flap with snap. It even came with a surprise--another small fabric bag perfect for my sock knitting!
