Years ago, I made up a dozen or so easy bags. I kept three for myself filling them with different knitting projects. Peanut associates knitting with me schlepping around one of my bags. On every trip, there was always a bag at my feet in the car.
Fast forward...his gf wants to learn how to knit. She got yarn and needles to start making a hat. Peanut promptly texted me asking if I had another knitting bag. Wow! I haven't sewed in years. I took this opportunity to dig through my limited stash and come up with something.
I was hoping for some fun mix of fabric but did not have enough yardage. However, it is fitting to use this fabric. I bought it years ago to make up a bag for my mom. She was a dedicated tea drinker. It turns out the gf likes tea too. As I cut the pieces, I was smiling thinking of my mom. I did not have my preferred interfacing either. I ended up punting with what I had.
The end result is by no means perfect, but it will be the perfect bag for the beginning knitter. I'm glad Peanut requested a bag. It got my creative juices flowing...I just might have to get my sewing machine tuned up!
