bags, bags and more bags--- but do we have enough?

Last night I was dashing out the door to go to a friend's house for dinner. Of course I wanted to bring my knitting. I mean what self-respecting knitter ever leaves home without it? But I couldn't find a bag to put it in. Now , let me be clear. I have lots and lots of bags--- a blue bag, a red bag, an orange bag, a green bag, a Temescal bag---you get the idea---the house is over-run with bags. But here is the thing. You can never have enough bags. And you never seem to have the exact right bag when you need it. Right? So what to do? Make another bag? But of course.

See the blue bag with the red stripe in the pic? That bag belongs to my friend Tai. She and I are habitues of the Temescal Market. I never look for her. I look for her bag. And I can spot it and her many fruit stalls away (She was the one to tell me about the black cod----divine---buy it next time you go) And the grey and wine bag? The belongs to Janice. When I go to a party, I know immediately if she has arrived---by her bag. That's the thing about making your own bag. It's like a calling card---except that is way more fun and far more practical too.

So if you are feeling a little bag poor at the moment, join us this Saturday for
the Temescal Bag class---your knitting and your market treasures will be ever so happy to have another comfy place to nestle!
