New in My Shop - Knitter's Tools!

 If you haven't visited my shop lately,

you haven't seen some of the handy

Knitting Tools I have recently added!

 One of my all time favorites is the 

"Katcha-Katcha"

a nifty little counter to help you

keep track of rows, stitches, repeats, etc

when knitting.

I actually have 2 or 3 of these

so I can always put my hands on one.

All knitters know what a hassle

a slippery yarn can be when knitting it.

"Yarn Bras" are the perfect tool to keep

them upright and perky!

I have even selected the ones I consider

absolute "essentials" for any knitting bag

and have them available in a 

pretty chevron Accessory Bag.

Wouldn't this make a great gift

for any beginner knitter?

Happy Weekend!

You'll find me on the porch knitting!

Accessory Bags!

It's been a week of sewing.

I've been making Accessory Bags.

As a result, my Etsy shop is well stocked with a variety!

The first step in this process is doing an over lock stitch

along the sides of the zipper edgings.

This helps prevent raveling of the fabric

edges and thus snagged zippers!

Next is the insertion of the zipper.

For a project like this,

I like to do several at once.

Combining the vinyl and the fabric

is almost the end.

I first made Accessory Bags

to stow all my small knitting tools.

And, they're great for that.

But since I seem to find bunches of 

different ways to use them.

They are great for storing jewelry and…

…cosmetics too!

I also love them for travel.

Bet you can think of lots of ways

use them too!
