Life of a show girl inspired project bags

I found these gorgeous tote bags and knew they would be perfect for project bags inspired by the life of a showgirl.

Each bag is a polyester bag customized with orange glitter heat transfer vinyl in a font similar to TLOAS. I absolutely love yarn and Taylor, so I love that I could combine the two.

Available in the shop now. Multiples of the yarn girl are available. There are only one of each of crochet and knitting. I also take commissions and have spare blankets bags if you want a different phrase.

Love my life a lot some days.

Today, I made myself a yarn bag. Out of yarn!

In progress pics under the cut

The base is a hexagon in single crochet, and I turned the corner with a row of back-loop-only, to get it ✨ crisp ✨

Up the sides we've got five rows of single crochet, then two rows of shell stitch in the new colour, followed by three rows of single crochet. On reflection, I think I'd make the colour change immediately *after* the second shell stitch to make the arches more distinctive. Possibly also using back-loop-only again, because the remaining front loops in the shell stitch colour would outline it. Nice crisp border. Anyway!

Made the string with finger loop braiding. Then changed my mind about the colours and did it again but longer this time:

Threaded it through, cut to length, then threaded the beads on with the needle threader off a tufting needle (L o r g e).

And whipped the ends until the beads couldn't slide back off, then combed out the threads to make the Babiest of Tassels.

10 Gift Ideas for Knitters/Crocheters

1. Knitting storage bag - cute bags specifically designed to keep your yarn, tools and works in progress.

2. Yarn bowl - cute bowls with a slot for yarn to be threaded out of while you create. Helps with keeping things tangle free.

3. Yarn! - can’t have too much yarn. You might not know the yarn preferences of the person you’re buying for, but they likely will find a way to use what you get them. Popular yarn to get are multi-coloured, cotton, thick (extra ply) or any with unique textures. That kinda stuff is the good stuff.

4. - Tools - Now they probably already have their own tools. But if you happen to notice that they’re using straight metal or plain plastic hooks, you can upgrade them with ergonomic hooks. They look like they have a rubber handle and they feel sooo much better. And if they only have 1-2 tools, you can get them different size needles or hooks. This is only if they don’t have a huge bundle of supplies already.

5. Giant basket/tub - if they don’t have a great yarn storage spot, this is a life-saver.

6. Something you make - if you try your hand at knitting or crochet, they’ll love you for it!

7. Plastic stitch markers - you can get these online. Look for the ones that are open-ended. They slip into work so easily.

8. Patterns - we need knitting/crochet patterns. You can find heaps of cute ones on Etsy for download. Books and magazines on fibre arts also contain heaps and make good gifts.

9. - Heat pack - especially glove ones. Our hands get sore and cramp, so anything to help with this and help us take breaks is good. Even muscle relaxant cream.

10. Amigurumi kit - these are kits that come prepacked with everything you need to make a plushie. And they are amaaaaazing. I recommend the Woobles brand.

Cordage bag- just a practice piece made of acrylic yarn. Ended up pretty striking tho! Hopefully I’ll be able to gather enough resources to start some historically accurate twine bags next...
