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!

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
