So, my little knit area is all organized now…how’s that?  On Monday when Kiki and

My Little Knit Knook

Walker were over, Kiki was reading and said we were all too loud and disappeared. Later I found her all curled up in my chair reading. It was cute.

Okay, I always see these articles in knitting and fashion magazines, and even Vanity Fair where they show what is in people’s bags, and drawers and stuff. So here, for the world to see, is what is in my bag. Okay, just my little knitting bag, so don’t worry….

My knitting bag

Anyone who knows me is not surprised at the two Chapsticks. I didn’t even know there were two.  I have two pens, two crochet hooks for picking up stitches in knitting, stitch markers in an Altoids can, three thimbles for some weird reason,  a measuring tape, of course a pair of purple scissors.  The green tube holds needles of all kinds that I use when finishing things.  The long metal safety pin is for holding stitches, but I don’t use it much. I use the spare yarn usually to hold stitches for fingers or thumbs or whatever while they are waiting. I have a fingernail file, because if you get any little rough spot while knitting, it can drive you absolutely crazy. The card is from a knitter I met who makes soap, and when I run out of my sis in laws’ batch, I may buy some.The purple balls are for sticking on the ends of dpns so the yarn doesn’t fall off.

Last, and not least, is a little piece of paper with a heart.  This is a stealth addition by Chantel. Years ago, she visited me at work and drew a similar heart on a post it and put it on my computer.  I always loved seeing that in the morning. So this is what I found in my knitting bag after she borrowed something…and it will be there forever. What a doll she is. I miss her.

And that’s my bag. I will not go into detail on my purse.  But I will say, there is a business side and a knitting side….
