Bags and Socks

This weekend I decided to sew some simple drawstring bags to hold my knitting projects. I think I might have gotten a bit out of control and I ended up making 12. Sometimes I get a bit over zealous in my organizing. But now I have a bag for each different project that hold the yarn, needles, pattern and whatever else I may need.

Here is a single bag in all its glory.
one bag I think the reason this picture looks funny because a pink bag up against a pink wall doesn't work well. And yes the walls of my craft room are pink, very pink. I made each one with a flat bottom and the string is either a cloths line or ribbon. So they are not terrible exciting but I accomplished things none the less.

I have yet to cast on a successful pair of socks, but I keep trying. This whole sock process is quite frustrating to me, I feel like I am never going to get it. Mostly the problem I have is finding a pattern to go with the yarn and needle I already have, plus they have to fit my big feet. All those elements together are making for some tough sock knitting, but I will prevail!

I recommended it on glitter but try Carol Anderson's Iowa Crew/Cruise Socks pattern. Its such a cute little booklet and very easy to understand and also variable for any size feet. I am currently using it for socks for my BF and he has HUGE flipper-like paddle feet. It is written for a gauge of 5.5 st/inch so you can use whatever yarn and needles you have to get that gauge.

Those bags are great - and a great way to justify the fabric purchases! Pink walls - a craft room - can I be your friend?
