When carrying my knitting around, I like to keep it in nice project bags. I used to drop works in progress (WIPs) into ziplock bags and throw them into my purse or tote bag. It was handy but not very attractive. I have a couple of large bags that I’ve acquired through the years that are my standbys. Those are better suited for large WIPs; one of them is currently holding a blanket that will ultimately fit a double-sized bed. Another is a tote bag with a witty phrase. For small projects – like socks – I use this little silk bag.
The bag is 8.5″ tall, 8″ wide and about 2″ deep (21.5 cm x 20 cm x 5 cm). It fits the necessary yarn, needles, notions, and patterns for socks, hand warmers, a hat or other small projects.
It is fully lined and cinches closed. And it’s pretty. It’s meant to be a nice evening bag but I repurposed it for knitting.
I happen to have a couple of these in flowery peach and light blue colors so I thought I would have a giveaway in celebration of spring. I will randomly select one recipient for the silk bag (and perhaps a few other surprises) on or around the Spring Equinox.

Thank you for reading Agujas and enjoy the spring weather!
Agujas 
What an adorable bag. I actually have some silk on hand that is similar in pattern, I just might have to sew up one myself.
Wish I could sew!

Cute bag up for grabs on this blog. Check it out!
Beautiful bag… hadn’t thought of repurposing a silk bag before.
It’s so much prettier to carry around. 🌸
Do I get an extra entry for having my birthday on the Spring Equinox? 🙂 Just kidding!
I love the old – fashion feel I get from this bag. It’s like “Yeah I’m knitting like your granny and I’m having a little silk bag like your granny’s!” 😀
What a lovely little bag!

Any one else interested in winning this pretty little silk bag? I could envision many other uses for this bag for my non-knitting friends, and this blog is always an interesting read 🙂
That is a lovely silk bag! Thank you for offering the giveaway!
Very pretty!
Love it
I’m one who tends to use ziplock bags–you’re right, this is MUCH nicer!
Very pretty bag! I tend to carry large handbags to and from work which have one section completely open for knitting and rarely bother with the special bag. However, that doesn’t help me transition well from bag to bag, which I like to do this time of year.
Very sweet! It is the perfect knitting accessory. 🙂

Sharing this to get one more chance to win this sweet little bag… which means I am increasing the competition, but I think it is worth it. 🙂
That’s a lovely embroidered bag and now I feel guilty…
I’ve been taking my time to sew a few project bags with some of the loom woven cloth that I made. I’ll put that on my “to do” list girl this week. Finding the time will be my biggest challenge.
I’ve just started using Twitter for my blog. I didn’t know you had a Twitter and it was great to follow you.
Be forewarned – Sunday nights are all about the Walking Dead!
That’s fine. I love the Walking Dead!
What a lovely idea 🙂 Count me interested, thanks
That’s brilliant! I have a couple of little clutches that I rarely use but would be perfectly sized for sock knitting.
Lovely bag! Perfect for me – I like to knit hats.
the right bag adds to the whole experience. I use a soft but strong bag made from recycled silk.
Super cute and useful, thanks for the chance to win! Great giveaway!
What a gorgeous bag! This would be a very happy home for one of my WIP’s 🙂
Great idea and love the bag!
Such a pretty bag.
Gorgeous bag!
I’m filled with envy! I totally adore the bag and can see why you use it for your project bag. I’d want to use it every day too, rather than only see it when I required an evening bag (very rare that happens!). It’s beautiful, you lucky girl. ~ sending oodles of love ~ Cobs. x
I should have posted this a while back. The winner of the silk bag giveaway is Zeta from kalianapodi.wordpress.com! The bag and a few other extras are on their way to her. Congratulations! I hope you like it!! – Veronica
