Etsy Feature – Yarn Bento Bag

This yarn bento bag allows you to take your yarn wherever you go. Forget about taking those fancy Yarnbowls that are ceramic n holiday with you and check out the Bento bag made just for yarn

Keeps your yarn in on place as you knit or crochet.
This little pocket for your yarn lets you knit right inside the sleeve. No need to have your yarn rolling all around.

These little bags are perfect to cradle an average 100 gram (3.5 ounces) skein of yarn.
A skein will unwind from the center.

Only lining fabric may vary slightly due to availability.

Toss this in your bag, it won’t take up much space and your yarn will always stay organizer.
They work best when the yarn is pulled from the center.
Hold a cake of yarn perfectly. Great for you cat owners to keep your yarn safe from pets

The Bento style bags are made from cotton fabric and are fully lined with a light interface for support
I have a large supply of fabric on hand and close with a KamSnap.

The felted slipper craze that began last year doesn’t seem like it’s fading away. The Sailor Slippers, often striped knit and felted slippers made with super bulky yarn, because the project of the moment late last year (check out more knit slipper options in this post all about sailor slippers) and they’re still consistently popular with knitters.

Which makes sense because they are fun and fast to knit, and seeing them go from this giant thing to something that actually fits a foot feels a little magical.

I have always loved felting (in fact my first book was about felting knitting) and it’s always fun for me to see people rediscover this technique.

If you’ve knit enough plain slippers to fit all the feet you know, maybe it’s time to stitch up some tabi style slippers instead.

Maymade Knits has designed these cute tabi ballerina slippers, made with bulky yarn and felted. They’re worked flat at first and then in rounds, and are available in 10 EU sizes (the Internet tells me add 31 to your American shoe size to get your EU size). The designer says the slippers are meant to have a close fit and you should choose a size a little smaller than your foot for the ideal fit.

The pattern includes a video tutorial along with the written pattern.

You can grab this pattern on Ravelry. The same designer has her own version of the striped felted slipper as well, called Sarah’s Striped Slippers. These are worked in super bulky yarn and have a contrasting foot and a striped body. These are knit flat and seamed and there are 7 size options available. Check that pattern out here if you’re looking for a more traditional slipper shape. They also look roomier so you can wear them with socks if you like.
