Pack Your Summer Knitting Bag…

Get ready for the warmer weather by dumping out your heavy laden project bags that are strewn all over the house, car and office and simplify for an easy get away with projects in tow and nothing left behind. Here are a few items that may help you downsize and keep things light and easy:

Micro Clip Light

Here’s a great little addition to your summer project bag!  This little LED light has some serious power for a tiny rig.  It has a directional light that will be a must have for the summer evenings and camping trips. Get a few and use them for hard to see crafting projects as well as any other assortment of lighting needs.

Double Point Work In Progress Tubes

Any sock knitter that uses double point needles and doesn’t have a set of these has absolutely no idea what they are missing! The peace of mind that you have in knowing that your socks can be on the needles and in your bag without the loss of any stitches in any direction what so ever is well worth the $6.50 a pair that you spend on these perfect point protectors. Pick up a couple sets to go along with your light work this season.

Where To Put It All…

As I was trying to select a few choice bags to share with you, I discovered the array of our selection in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles. Which led me to ask the question… What kind of bag are you??? I was speaking to myself of course, but it made for a fun idea. Your project bag is an extension of you when you are out and about this summer, so give a little thought about what kind of bag you might “be”? Valise? Satchel? Backpack? Shoulder Bag? Carry All? Or possibly a Reticule or Minaudiere?  I personally am a “Carry All”  (here is our bags page). I am forever lugging various bags with a variety of items in them and having a large, do it all bag is just my style.  So if I were to choose for myself  or a possible gift idea from the dear ones in my life I would go for the Nantucket Diddy Bagg for the “do it all” wet and dry tote that has amazing pockets everywhere and the option of hands free lugging-always a good thing on the go! A close second would be the Zip Tote Bag and all it’s lovely matching needle and accessory cases .  So give it a little thought and let us know how we can pair you up and get  you on your way for the warmest months ahead.
