Rachel left a comment on my last blog post which led me over to her blog, and to cut a long story short, I discovered Nicsknots lovely blog. Nic makes beautiful project bags and other accessories any knitter would love to own and she is currently hosting a giveaway. All you have to do to be in with a chance to win a project bag is to spill the beans on what's in one of your own knitting bags. So I took the bag I'm currently carrying about, a cute hedgehog print (very autumnal!) from ThreeBagsFull ......
and took a look inside. Here, can you spot anything familiar?!
Then I took everything out and spread it out to show you! It's amazing how much you can fit in really!
I bet you would like a closer look, wouldn't you? It's always fun to snoop through someone else's knitting notions. I like finding new things to try out. So first, there's my current knitting project, some baby socks knit with a baby Regia ball of sock yarn. First sock finished bar the grafting, I hope to get the second one done today.
A second ball of baby Regia to knit another pair of socks.
A LoLo bar and some lip balm. I suffer from dry hands and find these LoLo bars very moisturising. They also smell divine. It's a shame you have to get them from the USA, I wish someone like Loop would stock them!
Highlighter tape, a needle gauge and knitting needle conversion chart. I was sent some tape in a swap once and always use it now when I am working on anything remotely complicated to mark my place!
Some reading glasses for when I am knitting wearing my contact lenses. I have reached 'that age' where I cannot see close up!! Blergh!! Plus a bit of handspun yarn. (Not quite sure how/why that's in there!)
Some mini skeins and key ring chains from The Skein Queen, destined to be Christmas stocking filler gifts, fingers crossed!!
A little notions purse, again from ThreeBagsFull.
And inside this, a few essentials for knitting - stitch markers from Atomic Knitting, scissors, a funky robot tape measure, a selection of sewing needles, a row counter and a broken dpn (I wondered where that had got to!)
So now it's your turn! What's in your knitting bag?! Please share! xxx

Ha ha! Looks pretty much a replica of mine!!!! Except.... mine doesn't seem to have opened very much of late :-( Ros x
That's a great idea as I am not exactly sure what's in mine.
Your sewing bag is lovely, and so organised! Mine is, um, not! In my defence my bag is really a small pencil case, but it's amazing how much stuff is in it! There are a few crochet hooks, loads of stitch markers, some ends of yarn to use as lifelines, safety pins, a few pens/pencils, cable needles, sewing needles, a needle threader, a tape measure and some scissors. The zip won't close though!
i love that hedgehog print!! so adorable!!
my knitting bag has turned into a knitting trail that wanders though my house! now that i mention it, i really should go tidy that up :)

I don't really have a knitting bag as such, it's more a knitting sitting room. And as we have only just moved, it's a complete mess and almost impossible to find anything. Although I have located a lot of stuff I had forgotten about. :)
