Best Knitting Bag Ever!

If you haven’t seen or even tried the Nantucket Bagg, you must see it. It’s the best. Made out of machine washable polyester, it has more pockets than I can count (30), is reversible (so the pockets can be on the inside or outside) and can be turned into a back pack (with a bit of imagination, trust me, if you want to take your knitting along with you on your motorcycle, you will figure it out). And it comes in fun colors like this lime green with pink straps (although mine is beige, it’s still the funnest bag in the whole world)!

This is the “Official” description: The only bag in the world that you can open up so you can find what you put inside! With 30 pockets for needles, scissors and other tools, as well as the large inner section, this bag can tote along a plethora of supplies, and everything can be in its own spot! You can even zip the bag all the way open to reverse which side is out. Made of 100% polyester. Machine washable. 10″ x 15″ x 6″ with 1 1/4″-long handles.
Quanities are limited in this summery-fun (lime/pink) color. Get one while they last!

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
