September 25, 2009 by Terrye

Of course (smacks head). Why not? How cool is this! And who else but Knit Picks? This kit including the pattern and yarn comes in 4 awesome color combinations (green too!).

This handy tote has space for all of your knitting essentials and teaches you how to make a variety of different pockets! The instructions contain tutorials for three basic pocket types, welts, and how to line the bag and pockets with the included interfacing and fabric. The outside of the tote is knit bottom up, and the inside is knit sideways. This construction combined with the stiff interfacing produces a knitting bag that will stand up on its own and maintain its original shape. This bag is knit with US 10 (6 mm) straight needles and a 24″ circular needle. The finished size of the bag is 12″ wide x 5″ deep x 9″ high with a 30″ opening circumference.

    Isn’t this the greatest bag? I’m torn between the green and the brown – kind of wish there was a green/brown combo, then I wouldn’t have to choose!

Bookmark Knitting Patterns

It’s always a good time for a bookmark, and even more so as we start thinking about back to school time. Reading is more fun when you have a pretty bookmark. That’s just science. 

Plus bookmarks are fast, portable, and a fun way to try out different skills. So let’s get busy with some bookmark knitting patterns!

This set of three bookmark knitting patterns from Lucky Fox Knits includes one worked in garter stitch, an easy eyelet lace and one with eyelets running down the center. I love the little I-cord for the tassel!

Add a simple textured stitch to a bookmark to make it a little more fun. This one from Franciscan Gypsy is called the paper towel bookmark, and I’ll bet you can pick it out above just from that description. This one calls for fingering weight yarn. 

Another pretty allover pattern is this slip-stitch lace design from Handy Little Me. Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Speak Now, it’s a sweet little design worked in fingering weight yarn. This one is a little extra fun because it has two tassels. 

I love this undulating wheat ear bookmark pattern from KMKnits Shop. It’s an interesting stitch pattern perfect for advanced beginner knitters, and it uses sport weight yarn. 

A lot of knit bookmarks have a bit of lace, and they’re actually a great way to pick up some lace knitting skills on a tiny project that doesn’t have to be perfect. I like this lacy one from Val Knitting Shop, which is inspired by daisy petals. It calls for fingering weight yarn. 

The Jasmine Bookmark from Valentina Fezova-Georgieva is another pretty lace pattern that’s a little more complex but still totally doable. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is available on Ravelry.

If you want a more literal inspiration of flowers in your bookmark pattern, try the pair of floral bookmarks form Warm and KnittedS. One has a little rosette and the other just has leaves. They look like I-cord but they’re actually worked flat on two needles and will stitch up in no time for a last minute gift or to tuck into your latest read.
