Construction Totes!
I think most knitters and crocheters love project bags almost as much as they love yarn! Personally, my project bag collection is quite vast, but for me, there’s a distinct difference between a “project bag” and a knitting bag.
Finding a portable vessel to hold yarn, needles and maybe a pattern is not a particularly difficult feat. Most anything will do — and my collection demonstrates just that. Currently, I have WIPs stashed in everything from nylon, to leather, to a Ziploc storage bag. I have students who’ve used a salad spinner basket, a stainless steel mixing bowl and an empty Kleenex box.
But finding the perfect knitting bag is not as easy! For me, I want something that can handle the elements (can I plop it on the sand while at the beach? Can I wash it if it gets dirty?), has lots of pockets (both inside and out!) to house all of my tools, notions and maybe an iPad or a laptop…and is big enough to handle a hefty project, but not so big that I can’t take it everywhere.
When I purchased myself an Immodest Cotton Construction Tote I instantly fell in love. It checks all the boxes for me and I think you’ll love them too!
Each tote has five pockets, in various shapes and sizes — three outside and two inside — plus an extra slot on the outside that’s perfect for pencils, scissors or DPNs. They have a sturdy canvas shoulder strap and a shorter leather handle (that can be removed for easy washing!). Plus, they’re heavy duty and designed to last.
Also just in — these adorable Fortune Cookies! Hand-stitched leather charm for keeping what matters most close at hand. Perfect for stitch markers, a row counter, mini travel scissors and more, the contents will stay safe because of the hidden magnetic closure.

Sandnes Garn Line!
Just in time for warmer weather - one of my favorite summer yarns is here!
The warm-weather best seller, Sandnes Garn Line, is a unique blend of fibers that offers a beautiful balance of texture, softness, and durability. Made from 53% cotton, 33% viscose (bamboo), and 14% linen, this yarn combines the best of all three fibers to create a luxurious product that is incredibly soft but still looks like linen with a beautiful drape. With a plethora of incredible patterns designed using this yarn, you’ll have a hard time deciding which one to make first!
