Shortly after I posted about my Liberty knitting print skirt I received an email from Helen, asking whether I knew anywhere that the fabric was still available. Sadly it was already discontinued when it was given to me, and its well and truly out of print now.
It turned out that she only needed some very small pieces, so I’ve just sent a parcel containing the offcuts from my skirt. What Helen’s planning to make is a couple of adorable little knitting project bags. She and her daughter have an Etsy store called Good To Be Girl, selling cute little stitch markers, and these bags in a variety of sizes.
They’re specially designed for knitters on the move – they have a wrist strap, a little clip to attach to your belt or handbag, and a small yarn feed inside the bag, so you don’t get all tangled on your travels. I like the teeny tiny little notions bags – perfect for keeping all those little bits and pieces like your stitch markers, yarn needle and tape measure.
I can’t wait to see some project bags in the Liberty knitting print – how cool is that?!
So cute… that idea has been swimming around in my brain since I got given a gorgeous silk drawstring bag. A use for all those small bits of fabric that aren’t very quilt-able…
