A few weeks ago Saartje showed the contents of her knitting bag. Currently I don't use a knitting bag but instead use baskets so I can see all the yarn colors I'm using at one time. To hold all my knitting accessories, I use this container. I believe it is a tackle box for fishermen and cost me less than $2.




I use this container for my measuring tapes, stitch holders, stitch markers, tapestry needles, crochet hooks, small packets of Eucalan, Burt's Bees lemon cuticle cream, bobbins, and a small amount of buffalo fiber from a schoolteacher at the Waldorf school on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation.

I do have one bag I keep around for sentimental reasons. I received this bag during an Aran knitting class with Alice Starmore when she did her tour of the U.S. to promote her Broad Bay yarns.
