It's in the bag

I have been whizzing through the knitting of the cotton shopping bags. They don't look all that big, but they do have a good stretch to them. And they are great for the height impaired of this world (like me) as they don't touch the ground when you have things in them which is great.


I am on the fifth bag now and the cotton stash is shrinking. One bag takes less than a day to knit, well less than a day while I am on holidays, next week when I return to work will be a bit different as there are about 12 hours in the day that I wouldn't be able to knit at all.....where is a great job where I could knit while working????? I guess you call that retired or owning your own yarn store, of which the latter sounds just perfect. Well that is a dream of mine, I would only do that if I had alot of money to own my own building and stock the store without having to borrow, as great as a yarn store or any own business for that matter, I wouldn't want the stress of having to worry about making enough money to cover all those costs associated with having my own business....a BIG lotto win would be fantastic right about now!

Well I am going back to knitting another bag, this one is all black and is looking pretty good.

Most of this knitting for the next few months will be for sale when a few of us have an exhibition at the Old Fire Station in Kiama from 18 - 22 May.

The cotton bags look great. What pattern did you use. I would love to win tattslotto and have my own yarn store where you could sit and knit with your customers during the day!

Great bags, especially for the height challenged amongst us.
Yes, a bit Tattslotto win would be fabulous!!! Mind you, I loved my job and I doubt I would have given it up entirely, maybe part time??
