Is there anyone out there that is interested in a knit a long for a non baby item, non pg item, etc....<br><br>
I am not pg, my youngest is completely out of dipes, I am not ttc, nor do I want to knit any baby items..... <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/bag.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Bag">:<br><br>
I would really love to have a group that is way into this too!!!<br><br>
Any ideas?<br><br><br>
TIA

Felted Marsupial Tote?

 

[HaveWool~Will Felt]

I am so happy to see some response to this thread.... <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"><br>
I am a big knitting fool.....when in doubt, I knit a bag.... :LOL<br><br>
I met with some friends to knit on Tuesday night and asked for help with the "Lucky Clover Lace Wrap" from SnB Nation. I have a watch on some 4 ply cotton yarn right now for it.<br><br>
Didn't want to offend anyone about the non baby items....I just am WORN OUT on knitting for babies...<br><br>
However I do have two little boys, ages 4 & 6 that I would love to knit for.<br>
Maybe puppets, stuffed toy....but something a bit more grown up than infant stuff....<br><br><br>
Thanks Mamas.....

I'm currently working on a Booga bag, but will be making more.<br><br>
I also have the patterns for the *Lily* and *Kristina* Black Sheep bags as well.<br><br>
I'm all for whipping up some bags! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngbiggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="orange big grin">

I'd love to do any felted bag, just thought of the Marsupial cause I have the pattern, but if y'all want to do a different one that's fine!<br><br>
Jackie, in reference to your cotton yarn-- I really like Sugar n Cream, I think it's 4 ply, I made the Om Yoga Bag with it and I love how it came out.<br><br>

Id love to join in.......but maybe some mamas dont have access to the SnB book. HOw bout the Sophie bag? Heres a link to the free pattern:<br><br><a href="http://www.magknits.com/warm04/patterns/sophie.htm" target="_blank">http://www.magknits.com/warm04/patterns/sophie.htm</a><br><br><br>
Its easy and felted......and you can modify to make it bigger etc. if you want.<br><br>
I just co for a felt hat from FELTED KNITS.....a great book by the way. And I also just finished the NEWSBOY CAP from SnB Nation. Im so proud that I was able to do cables without anyone's help!

HA! I was just wondering whether I could do the M Tote with the Cascade 220 I just dyed!!! The Sophie Bag would be perfect! AND I bought 10.5 DPN's (Brittanys, woo woo) last night and I have the circs.<br><br>
Let's go! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/biggrinbounce.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="bgbounce">

 

[rainsmom]

Im in! Maybe if the OP is in agreement.....she can change the name of the thread or start a new one title the SOPHIE BAG KNITALONG......IT would be so fun!

 

[JessicaS]

The sophie bag would be awsome I already made one. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/oops.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="oops"> Maybe I could make another... <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/mischievous.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="mischief">

Do you think it's big enough to us as a knitting bag, or maybe I could just double everything or 1.5 it? Then of course I'd have to dye another skein... unless it doesn't use the whole skein anyway OY VEY. I have to overcomplicate everything.

 

[Stayseeliz]

I'm up for the Sophie Bag!! I have tons of wool..Just have to decide what colors to use..

rainsmom~<br>
Thanks for the link to Sophie! I just bought the *Lily* & *Kristina* bag patterns at my LYS yesterday. Good thing I didn't buy Sophie as well! :LOL<br><br>
I can't start that bag yet, though.<br>
My 10.5 circs are in use with the Booga at the moment.<br>
Soon as I'm done with it I will start on Sophie. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngbiggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="orange big grin"><br><br>
Hmmm...<br>
Just had a thought...I could always just use my size 11's. DUH!

 

[JessicaS]

It isn't big enough for a knitting bag. It isn't very big once it is done.<br><br>
I am not sure it would serve well as a knitting bag in a larger size..I dunno. It is rounded. Way cute but not sure about knitting bag. I guess it depoends on what you want your knitting bag to look like *L.<br><br>
it is good for practicing with stitch markers and knitting in round, picking up stitches..ect ect

 

[JessicaS]

Now that I am thinking about it..I didn't actually use Cascade for my Sophie bag. I used Nature's Wool (ya I am rebel)..maybe it felts different and Cascade might actually make a slightly larger bag. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/shrug.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="shrug"><br><br>
Darn.....now I have to make it to see if it comes out the same. :LOL

 

[HaveWool~Will Felt]

OK, the sophie bag it is!!!!<br>
Let me get all my things is order and I will change the thread title tomorrow morning....<br>
Sound good?<br><br><br>
Thanks Ladies....I am way excited!!!<br><br>
:LOL

 

[*Devon*]

Sounds great, my 10.5s are in use but I will try to finish that today-- stuck home with a swollen jaw (wisdom teeth).<br><br>
Right now my knitting bag is my purse LOL... I keep all my WIPs in Ziploc and just have a few things (crochet hook, stitch markers, etc) that are loose. I have a basket at home, I would really just use it for travelling. We'll see when it's done, otherwise I'll hit up Target.<br><br>
Very excited!!!<br><br>
