Here I go again. Dreaming of yet another tote bag/purse. Sigh! This time, I'm thinking of using some pretty wool yarn that is hand dyed in lovely shades of purple. I've tried felting it already, last year when I was trying to decide which yarn to use for the eyeglass case. It comes out nice & thick when felted.
So I'm thinking about a new knitting bag. Maybe a bit smallish. Just enough for a skein or two & a chemo hat or other small project. Something I can just grab, stuff & go! I don't really need another huge bag. I've already got quite a few of those! I'm thinking maybe in the "booga bag" style...with the drawstring type handle. I'm not sure yet, because this yarn does felt up very thick! Needles will have a hard time trying to poke through this yarn! I want to add some nice pockets on the outside, for little gadgets & whatnots. Maybe a pocket or two on the inside as well. I have a ton of this yarn, so it won't be a problem!
I'm still making chemo hats! I'm almost done with this batch, I have 3 more till I have my dozen, then I'll post pictures of them. The ladies at work only see the hats in progress, they haven't seen a finished one yet. They think I don't really finish them! I promised I would bring in the batch when I'm done so they can see them. I'm doing some different things to a few hats. So its been exciting for me to work on them. I'm excited to finish & show them off! Soon!

Okay, so I'm very jealous of your booga bag plans and can not wait until I'm up to your skill level!
I have a question though, how long did it take you to get good at knitting? I'm not in any rush, just curious.

that would make a beautiful booga bag! The last booga bag that I made, I had a hard time poking my dpns though. So I started searching though my bf's tool box, and got a hammer and a punch (special screwdriver) and used that! Worked great! BTW Great blog! Amanda
