or so we’d assume based on Christmas…
Miss Babs Shiruku in Impatiens and another of my favorite bags by Sew Bendy. This one is inspired by the girls (Moda the Tuxedo and Orange the Tabby). The bags are a great size and can even hold up to 2 skeins of yarn for a garment.
Vinyl bags from Knit Picks (love these bags – see through and durable), more ChiaoGoo sock needles and cables and try-on tubing to make it easier to knit (and try on) top down sweaters.
I’m already using the Sew Bendy bag and the tubing was put to use right away too. It took a little getting used to so I didn’t pull off the tubing mid-row but once I got the hang of it it was so much easier than threading another needle on to try it on (or in my case, to do a little blocking to check gauge mid-project.
I really want to CO for an Inner Peace out of the Shiruku but I’ll hold off – for at least a couple more days.
I’ll catch you on the purl side…
Looks like you were good.
well, i think my gift-givers were the good ones. but i unwrap a mean present!
Merry Christmas! That Miss Babs purple is GORGEOUS.
I had a very merry knitting Christmas. (To say I was a good girl is always debatable.) Family gave me a WEBS gift card (already spent, thankyouverymuch!), three volumes of the Barbara G. Walker knitting pattern treasuries (I want to learn how to design my own things this year), and a lovely Madeline Tosh Merino light in a gorgeous blue.
Happy 2015 – looking forward to it!!
ooh tosh merino light – which shade of blue did you get?
You were good with those hints!
So happy for you! Way to start a new year with new tools and wools.
new stuff is never a bad thing
but tbh we make lists for each other so we’re surprised but not stunned by the thoughtful but awful…
Merry Christmas!
Those are beautiful gifts! Live that bag!
the bag is great – well made and holds a lot more than i would have thought.
The tubing is a great idea for trying things on. I will have to look into that. I am glad you had a great holiday!
the tubing is fabulous – now that i have it i can’t imagine *not* having it. it makes trying on so easy.
