Can't have too many, right?
I am a bag person. I freely admit this. My mom is a bag person, I get it from her. So, when Michelle was joking that she couldn't wait to see what bag I got when I was on my trip, I didn't really think anything of it. I just laughed it off like, I don't always get a bag when I'm out of town?! Well, she was right, I was wrong, I guess I do...and here's the latest! I had to go all the way to Arizona to get a bag that is made by some ladies here in Denver! That is funny to me.
I have been wanting one of these KnitOne bags for a while now. They reviewed it on the knitty website and said that they could fit 12 skeins of Koigu in the bag...so of course I had to try it out:) Guess how many skeins I fit in my bag?
Click on the picture to see the Koigu out of the bag. That's 18 skeins baby!! I didn't buy these all in Arizona, don't worry. They were part of my Koigu stockpile.
Here's a shot of the inside:
It came with a little zippered notions case too. I love this bag, it's such a fun shape, and amazingly enough, it holds a ton of stuff!!! I have been using it non-stop since I bought it and I get tons of comments about what a cute little bag it is:)
So tonight, the MHC Knitters are at it again...we are headed to Cynthia's house tonight to knit, but first we are meeting up for
Great Bag! Love the colors. My hubby gets mad at me regarding my bag collection. I asked him for a burberry for my birthday one year, he saw how much it was and had a cow! (And it was a small one that was discounted at BJ's) Geesh! Sounds like your trip was nice.

Posted by: Kim at August 5, 2005 06:25 PMMy goodness! That's a lot of Koigu you have in your stockpile too!
Wish I could lay my hands on some Koigu soon since I've heard so much about them.

Posted by: Brooke at August 6, 2005 12:35 PMI knew you wouldn't let me down!! Can't wait to see it in person.
Posted by: Michelle at August 6, 2005 03:23 PMOk. Do you want to give me a heart attack with all that Koigu? Do you?
Oh my. Must get a breathing machine.
