[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Knitting project bags.

[Ramona]

Ari, I use a two handled canvas bag with a zipper. I have seen them with pockets on the inside and the outside. Pretty simple, but it works. It doesn't stand up by itself, but it is very flexible. I usually have three or four with various stuff in them. Another thing I like about canvas bags is that they usually are large enough for full-size Braille paper and small books. 
If you don't get your cast on problem solved before it get quarantined, toy a one to one phone conversation. That's how I learned, and I have taught others by phone. But I am sure that others on this list could also help.

I don't like the idea of not being able to take my project out of the bag if I wanted, and with these types of bag, you're totally stuck using that bag for only that project--the only way to remove the project is to cut the yarn.

I'm just not understanding any of it. Luckily, the local library, which is about a mile from my house, has a knitting group on Fridays. I'm hoping they can help me get started. :) I think when I finally understand what to do, I'm going to try writing tutorials on my own blog. I've only posted a few entries, and they're super old, but maybe, if I do this, they can help someone who's instructionally challenged like myself. Lol.
