Springtime Knitting

I'm in Big Bear, CA for an exteneded weekend and I'm loving the spring weather. Just before I left, I pulled out all sorts of great springtime fabrics and I can't wait to get back and sew up some cheery knitting bags. So, get out your cotton yarn and bring on spring! Keep checking my etsy shop at http://knittingsmybag.etsy.com for spring bag updates. Check out my flickr page as well for lots of new fabric choices. Link on this page~

Facebook Fan Page

Wow, didn't realize how tough it was going to be to start up a Facebook Fan Page for KnittingsMyBag and actually get people to become friends. I want to get folks connected so that they can preview new bag selections and I'm hoping to set up some bag giveaways, especially for the upcoming holiday season. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be appreciated. Thanks!!

An Angry Little Boy

There has been a huge draw to this Michael Miller fabric entitled "Knitmare on Elm Street." It pictures skeletons knitting, dogs chewing yarn, an angry boy dressed in winter cothing and, for some reason, a carton of chinese food. It came in torquoise, green and pink. I had a couple of yards of green and 6 yards of pink. I wish I had 100 more yards. I could sell all the bags I could make out of this funky fabric. I'm including a couple of pictures. What draws people to this fabric?

Prototype Knitting Bag

As you can see at the left, I recently took a poll on what knitters are looking for in a knitting bag. I learned a lot from those who participated and I made up a bag which I think includes what most are looking for. Introducing: The Etsy Knitters Knitting Bag. It is made from great fabrics and has tons of pockets. I plan on making other versions of the bag with a new twist here and there.

A New Beginning

I've decided to make the plunge and change my Etsy username. I've had 81 sales and 67 positive feedbacks but my old name, Bagladybags, never really described what type of bags I make. People thought I made purses instead of needlework bags. So, I decided to switch over and start all over again. All over again means my blog, flickr, myspace, twitter, plumdrop, indiepublic, we love etsy, and on and on but I think it will be worth it. Stay tuned to watch my shop grow and my blog grow as well. I have some fun things planned for all your knitters out there!
