It’s a free pattern on Ravelry. A multiple of 9 (if I remember correctly?) stitches and just 1 row repeated. Mix up your pretty yarns in stripes and Bob’s your uncle.

Do! It’s so easy (1 row pattern) and varying the width of the stripes gives you these changing undulating waves - it’s a lot of πŸ’₯ for the buck.

It is! It makes everything look good.

Thank you for asking. I sell bags from my website, which is linked in my profile. I’ll be working on a new batch as soon as I get back from the festival and I offer my email subscribers 24hrs early access to new bags.

It’s #wip week at #showmeyourknits and here is my Poet Tee by Sari Nordlund in West 7th Wool 50/50 DK, color Emo Shadeshifter. I don’t have enough to finish so I’m waiting for them to restock to do cuffs and neck. #knitting #knitsky #knit 🧢

The DFW Fiber Fest is just over a week away - it always seems like it’s so far off and then πŸ’₯ it’s here! I’ve been hard at work - here are a handful of the metal frame knitting project backpacks I’m bringing. #knitsky 🧢 #knitting

Fiber Fest is almost here! The large backpacks always go fast. They have 8 (!!) pockets, a reinforced waxed canvas base, gorgeous prints, & leather trims. I tried to make loads this year so there should be some coming to my website after DFW Fiber Fest.

Large frame bags have tons of space, a cute shape, reinforced hand-waxed canvas bases & waterproof canvas linings. Four pockets inside, & the handles are double sewn & riveted for strength. They make the best knitting project bags! Coming to DFW Fiber Fest on the 19th! 🧢 #knitting #knitsky #handmade

There was an episode of Will & Grace a thousand years ago in which Grace’s mom sings β€œtold you so” with a little dance. A thousand years later we still do this all the time in my house.

Sometimes I’m lucky and find fabric samples from designers. They’re small but the fabrics are gorgeous and I’ve found they make the cutest pyramid pouches. Perfect for tools/notions, a drop spindle, or even a single-skein project. Coming to @dfwff.bsky.social 🧢 #knitsky #knitting #handspinning

The DFW Fiber Fest is just a few weeks away & I’ve been working so hard on all the gorgeous bags. If you’re going, I’d appreciate it if you’d consider one. If not, I’d so appreciate you considering joining my email list for first access to new bags after the Fest. Thank you! #knitsky #knitting 🧢🧢

Here are a few of the dumpling pouches coming with me to the DFW Fiber Fest next month. They’re great for a sock knitting project, your notions & tools, or for makeup, cords and chargers- anything you want handy in a larger bag. And they’re machine washable and all made by me. 😊 #knitsky #knitting 🧢
