    I love all the floral prints! It is so hard to find a classy looking floral print that isn't too old fashioned or too busy. These are just right.

    wow! Someone emptied her shop when I wasn't looking! I had my eye on a dark background oriental type fabric bag . . . but she's still got the black & red brocade that I love and the chrysanthemum brocade. I didn't get even the little mini bags in my box, so I finally broke down and bought one (anime fabric) and now I use that all the time. I think it would be so nice to have a couple more to organize the projects in my big bag - especially when I'm traveling and have several at a time in the bag. (Finally got a mini bag in one of my boxes, Yay!)

    These bags are great! And they're so affordable, too. My two favorites are the Knitmare on Elmstreet small KIP bag and the Divided small sock bag in Amy Butler Dandelion Field. I really like the idea of being able to hold two balls of yarn separately to knit two socks at once. I am currently working on a two-at-a-time sock project and have to keep the yarn in two separate zip-top bags. This is a much more attractive option! :)

    I couldn't decide, so I asked my 5yo, and she (predictably) picked the "Under the Sea" medium bag with the fish. They're talking about the ocean this week in preschool, what did I expect? Actually, I like the divided bags the best - that way I can keep my keys/phone/wallet on one side and my knitting on the other, and only have to deal with one bag! KT (Katherine Vaughan Designs)
