Today I thought I'd share with you what I keep in my notions bag. The bag I use is a small pouch that I got for free quite some time ago that actually originally held pads/tampons (I think it was a kotex giveaway at CVS). Anyway, its just the right size for my everyday tools or notions.
Here's a picture of the bag itself, as you can see my needle gauge is too big for the bag. When I'm traveling I take it out so the bag can zip, but at home I just keep it in there for easy access.
And here are the contents of the bag:
I have a needle gauge, a clover row counter, two measuring tapes (one soft and one harder plastic...the triangle thing), two crochet hooks (one tiny for smaller yarn and one larger), a clover yarn cutter (so useful) and clover stitch markers and stitch holders. Inside the stitch holders bag is a tapestry needle for sewing in ends.
The FO:
Another washcloth! Surprise surprise. I completed this one, last week out of lily sugar n cream. I really like how the colors striped and pooled on this one.
The WIP:
A SHITTY picture of me holding up the beginning of some really stupidly simple fingerless gloves. I'm making it out of bernat mosaic yarn, which so far I quite like, and size 7 needles. I dont think the gloves will match at all (this one will look green and i think the next one will end up with pink the majority color) but i'm okay with that. I think.
Viva la washcloth (or as I like to call them, Instant Gratification Cloth)!
ReplyDeleteLoving the look of the fingerless!
ReplyDeleteOn that washcloth, did you get the stitches to go diagonally by starting with a few stitches and then increasing? It looks awesome!
