I finally caved and bought a couple of PetiteKnit accessories: their new project bag and the foldable needle organizer. I’ve been seeing them on their website for a while and figured it was time to stop stuffing everything into random zip pouches and old makeup bags. Honestly, I didn’t expect them to make such a difference, but they really have.
Before this, my needles were all over the place, some stuck in random WIP bags, some loose in drawers, a few I thought I lost but had actually fallen behind the couch. Now everything lives in one place, and I can actually find what I need. The organizer has just enough structure to keep things neat without being bulky. I sorted everything by size, and I even had space left for some crochet hooks and my tape measure.
The project bag is also great, simple, sturdy, and big enough to fit a sweater project and all the little extras I always end up carrying around. I’ve taken it to knit night, on a road trip, and it’s holding up really well. It’s simple, works well, and makes keeping my stuff together way easier.
Also, on a trip to Taos, I stumbled across some adorable project bags at a small shop, Las Comadres Women’s Gallery. The bags are originally meant to be Japanese Rice Pouches, but the designer explained they can be used for many crafts, storage, etc. They had a fun chile pepper pattern and a spooky fall design that immediately caught my eye. Both are smaller than the PetiteKnit bag, so they’re perfect for smaller projects or just keeping notions handy. It’s always fun to find locally made gear that adds a little personality to my knitting setup.
