Knitting bag: So I have been on a bit of a hiatus from the blog for a while! The last couple of months have been busy at the day job, then for the last two weeks I’ve had some time off, and I’ve been away from my computer most of the time. But, I have been working on various crafty projects! 

I made this knitting bag for myself using some Rifle Paper Cocanvas,Essex Linen, and Cotton and Steel interior. It’s a basic lined drawstring bag - then I added a set-in zipper in the front, and pockets on the inside for all my knitting accessories. I love this fabric so much, and it was one of those that I’d kind of been hoarding or saving for something. I’m so glad I used it for this, because I’ve been taking it with me everywhere!

My knitting project is a new one too - my second sweater based on Wendy Bernard’s Creativebug class on top-down sweater knitting. This will be a cardigan. I even added my own cable to the back for fun! 

I was lucky enough to spend most of the week at a cottage last week. I brought my knitting down to the lake to work on between swimming, kayaking and outdoors time. So relaxing!
