Thanks to every one who has already signed up on my mailing list. Wow! Huge response, I am so excited to see that!
This week I am loving my Jordana Paige The Knitter's Satchel.
Mr Danger got me one in brown a couple years ago for Christmas and I have been using it on and off ever since. It is a really great bag, I do love it. I carried it every day for awhile, but since that was several years ago I have changed to a leopard everyday bag since. I mean, a girl's gotta change up her handbag every now and again!
I have a bevy of bins and bags and project containment systems. Enough that they took up their own large box when I moved. Generally I tend to gather yarns and supplies into a sterilite shoebox as I am sorting new pattern designs out, which then get stored on a shelf until I am ready to get started knitting. The bin then gets toted around depending on where I am knitting, and never works out quite right.
When I went to the Seattle Knitter's Guild a few weeks ago I grabbed my Knitter's Satchel and that was my project travel bag. Ever since I have been using it every day! I transfer all yarn out of the sterilite bin, add in my notions kit and needles and anything else I need, then I haul the bag up to my office or down to my couch depending on where I am knitting. What a happy accident, I love it! I thought I should only be using it for transporting knitting out of the house, but my goodness, it opens so wide and has all the little pockets and organizers, and it works even better around the house than for travel. Plus, my knitting project is always packed up and ready to go. And it fits my ipad quite nicely.
If you have ever thought about getting one (I lusted for like 5 years before Mr Danger bought me mine), do it! You will be very pleased. I personally have my eye on the pink one now, since the one I have is working out so well for me....
Alrighty. Off to wait for baby to make his appearance. He is apparently as stubborn as both of his parents!
Personally, I've had my eye on the amazing Swift bag ( http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/200/TB0660 ), but since I'm not exactly a hardcore knitter it's hard to justify the splurge. *sigh*

I received my kit and love it! I am slowly starting it because magic loop is very new to me, but I think with the help of the on-line videos, I'll get there. I think these will be some of the funnest projects I have ever knit! Do you happen to have a kit of the month club?
