[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Knitting project bags.

[Tracy Carcione]

My favorite project bag is a Go Knits bag.  I have a couple sizes.  It's a
thin nylon, or maybe plastic? Bag with a drawstring.  It has a flat bottom,
so perhaps could stand up.  It comes in fun colors--mine for my current
project is orange.  I put my project in with the needle points sticking out
the top a little, or sticking into the project.  There is also room for an
abacus, if I need to count, and my braille pattern cards and folded print
instructions, if I'm taking my project to someone to get help.  Then I pull
the string tight, loop it over my arm, and off I go.  Or, if it's a small
project, the bag can easily be squished and stuffed into my jacket.

I too am willing to try to help you over the phone.
Tracy

Subject: [NFB-Krafters-Korner] Knitting project bags.

Hello, everyone,


I'm looking for suggestions for knitting project bags without graumits or
other similar yarn slits. 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've heard of Erin Lane bags, which I think use a drawstring closure, but
I'd like some more options. What have any of you used that fits these
criteria? What did you like or dislike?

I haven't gotten anywhere with knitting, because I'm just not understanding
anyone's directions for casting on; I've tried Knitting in Plain English,
the tutorials from fingeringyarn.wordpress.com, and many other books. 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.


Thanks,
Ari
