All my knitting/crocheting friends...

I have some questions for you.

Say I was going to make a bag like this one:


Dimensions are:
(folded flat): 11" (width) by 14" (height)
(upright): 7" x 4" (bottom) by 11" (height to drawstring - 13.5" to top of ruffle)

I'm getting ready to make a mock up and want to make sure it's useful.

I like the idea of a D-ring... I think I've seen some bags on Etsy where a stitch counter is attached to a D-ring by a loop of ribbon or something.

I think it would be better to have a matching zippered bag for stitch markers and scissors and stuff to prevent unexpected spills or stabbening (I keep mine in the penguin pouch you made me! but a smaller zippered pouch would work well for stitch markers). I voted against a velcro-closure pocket because velcro + knitting = a scary combination.

Hehehehe. I just love enabling others to take on more craft projects. MY PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION IS WORKING. ;)

And god, I *freaking* *LOVE* that fabric. Someone else posted some bags yesterday in this fabric, oh, who was it.........Stitchy Mushroom. (Another Etsy seller.)

One thing I find I really like is a stiff bag so it can stand on its own. If the bag collapses on itself, the yarn doesn't flow as nicely. I currently use a felted bag I made and then ziplocs for notions, etc.

The only disadvantage to this is that it doesn't close so I usually keep this bag at home. If I knit at the doctor's office, I usually try to take a bag that closes at the top or just use my backpack or something.

I have a Namaste bag, but I find it too big for most of my projects so it is basically my needle storage bag.

Alrighty then.

"I was going to make a bag like this one."

Erm I mean, you told me to say that. Now what?
