👛 5 Knitting Bags To Better Organize Your Projects

A while back I laid out my suggestions for what the perfect project bag might include.

And while people were very interested in this tool, I received an email about my bag choice that got me thinking.

You see I recommended a backpack style bag, to which this person said they could not use. It would put too much stress on their back and shoulders.

That's a good point, so I thought why not highlight some other bag designs that folks are falling in love with on Amazon.

So here are 5 additional bag options you might want to invest in:

MYBAGZING Yarn Storage Organizer ​Get it from Amazon​ Quilted organizer | 2 sizes | 6 yarn grommets Great for sweater knitters and colorwork lovers. Yarn grommets keep skeins tangle-free, it holds 10 full-size skeins, and the side pocket fits extra needles and notions.

CRAFTISS Knitting Bag ​Get it from Amazon​ Removable divider | 3 outside pockets | zippered notions case A simple, retro design like the needle holders of the 1960s and 70s, with a mini notions bag, multiple carrying straps, and removable dividers you can reposition.

Canvas Knitting Tote by 7 Olives Studio ​Get it from Etsy​ Waxed canvas tote | leather straps | 2 sizes Waxed canvas with tons of storage, an expandable top for big projects, and yarn guides for colorwork. You can have it personalized for a small extra fee.

Kibaga Yarn Bag w/Needle Roll ​Get it from Amazon​ Canvas bag | 8 pockets | roll-up needle holder An affordable bag with lots of storage: room for plenty of yarn, outside pockets for notions, and a needle roll to organize your tools.

Re:Designed Project 10 ​Get it from Jimmy Beans Wool​ Leather bag | 17 x 29 x 14 cm | Retro Yellow We met the makers at H&H Cologne: beautiful, clever bags that open wide for easy access. 100% leather, so not cheap, but they last forever.

Make One (M1R / M1L) Increases

One way to explore increases is through pairing them with their left and right leaning versions.

Today we're looking at the Make One increase, which uses the strand of yarn between two stitches to create a new one.
