What am I doing for SOS 08?
Why, sewing box bags, of course. ;o) You know, in order to be a productive SOS sock knitter, you need a pretty bag to put the sock *in*.
Prior to leaving for our overnight camping trip, I decided that I absolutely had to have a new project bag. Didn’t matter that I needed to pack a camper or air out a camper or check to see if a camper was registered (it wasn’t, but that’s another story for another day), I needed a bag and I needed it right. now.
My first attempt was a bit on the wonky side:
Please ignore the computer desk mess…
I didn’t notice how wonky until after I had cut off the excess fabric from boxing the corners which means…there’s pretty much no fixing this bag. This is how it’s going to look until I have a sewing epiphany and figure out how to make it less…special.
My second attempt came out way better:
See? No wonky-ness. This is the bag that I’ve been schlepping since Friday – it even went to Six Flags on Monday. Want to see what’s in it?
Well…you’ll have to wait. ;op
p.s. Thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes! This has been the best year by far between Plurk wishes, blog wishes and Ravelry wishes. You all made my day :o))

I love that plurk is your backdrop, I don’t know how I missed that the other day when you showed it off there.
Heathers last blog post..Did you hear that….its me screaming!!
Maybe the little bag is just for notions? Poor little thing. I do love the blue/green bag though, quite nice.
I’m so slow a knitter that I’m still working on the second sock of my SOS. Eh.
They practice makes perfect. You really did a lovely job on the bag!

I want a bag like that! Well, like the second one.

I think they’re both pretty darn cool. I’m sending a link to your blog to my Mom to see if she can make me one. :) She’s does sewing. Me? Notsomuch.
Oh you big tease! I want to see what’s in that lovely bag! The second bag turned out perfectly. I do like the wonky wee bag. It may not work as a project bag, but it will as a notions or make-up bag.

Love the new bags! The first one looks ok to me too, just kind of small.
Karens last blog post..
Neither bag looks wonky to my untrained eye. I especially adore the second bag. The fabric rocks! Still, I like the shape of the first bag. It’s got style.

I really need to figure out how to make those.
Even the wonkiness is nice! Excellent work. I am now going over to plurk to find you :)

Great bag! I love Plurk in the background. :)
Coming out from under my rock to find out what a plurk is. :) No idea, call me ignorant…
And that bag? When are they going to go on sale to I can get one too?
karins last blog post..the traveling germans
Found my way over here from Cookie’s, after seeing her pretty bag. Did you use a pattern or just figure it out on your own? Might you consider a wee tutorial for those of us who deeply covet them? (Unless you’re selling them and I missed it, in which case, please point me to your store!)
