I got this gorgeous Liberty of London fabric recently because it has ALL THE COLORS. I made two waxed canvas totes with it, one a little calmer and one turned up to 11 (guess which is my favorite? 💚🧡💚). Each has 6 pockets, a raised drawstring closure, reinforced base, and leather handles, and each is coming with me to @houstonstitchmas on 10/24 at @craftiquestudiotx . It’s large enough for your biggest sweater projects and it would make a gorgeous gift for your favorite knitter or crocheter. I’ve also been told this size is just right for a portable electric spinning wheel. Come out to Craftique Studios next week and have a look at them in person! taken in Craftique Studio by @woolneedlethread

It’s nearly time for @houstonstitchmas so I’ll be showing you new project bags in the coming days ahead of my trunk show at @craftiquestudiotx. First up: a waxed canvas tote in near-neutral colors. The pretty splashes of red, teal, and orange in the print keep it lively. Leather shoulder handles, reinforced base, and rings to add a longer strap. Inside: 4 pockets, a ring for stitch markers, and loads of space. You can see my almost-finished sweater project only comes halfway. Come check it out on the 24th! I’ll show you another tomorrow in a bright colorway. See you then 😉 taken in Craftique Studio by @woolneedlethread

I’ve just INCREASED the discount on all of my sale bags! It’s mostly project bags but some would work as a handbag, too. They’re now all at least 30% off, with some even more discounted. It’s a great chance to do some early holiday shopping. Please check them out on my website! taken in Fort Bend County by @woolneedlethread

Spooky Season project bag! Drawstring closure, waxed canvas base, fully lined with pockets. Perfect for fall projects and on sale! Find this bag and all from this post on my website now 🎃

October vibes stitch markers/progress keeper set.

Ghastly Knitters project bag - just one left! This fabric is now super rare so there won’t be many more.

Owls, birdcages, age-yellowed letters and keys - a perfect combo for fall and winter. This backpack is both project bag (roomy, wide open interior, 8 pockets) and everyday bag (reinforced base, riveted strap attachments, leather accents) so it works as your needs change.

Vampire stitch markers/progress keeper set - made with thin wire to fit any size needles without leaving a ladder in your work. Long enough to hang below your working yarn and out of the way. taken in Texas by @woolneedlethread

Very unpolished photo to show the results of my experiment- could I quilt a spider web? The answer is yes! This cute dumpling and maybe one more with a spiderweb will be in tonight’s drop for subscribers only. They’re perfect for a sock set or as a little makeup bag. I’m sending the link out soon so sign up right away if you haven’t already. taken in Fort Bend County by @woolneedlethread

Also coming to tomorrow’s subscriber-only drop: these two gorgeous backpacks! The print featuring owls, magnolia flowers, letters, and birdcages is spooky-adjacent rather than in your face with ghosts and candy corn, so you can wear it in October and beyond. I have two in this print, and each is big enough for your chonky sweater project and strong enough for your laptop and books. Each has pretty leather accents from @georgiagirlstitches who supplied the webbing and that inky black canvas, as well. Sign up if you’d like a chance at one of them! taken in Fort Bend County by @woolneedlethread

Ghastly! I have a few more XL Zipper Project bags in this precious discontinued fabric - this time on the white ground. Each has a purple hand waxed canvas base and purple waterproof canvas lining. Each is slightly different in placement but they all have the full text on the front and the guy in green on the back. Coming Tuesday evening for subscribers! You can see my nearly finished sweater fits inside with room to spare - perfect for your fall knitting or crochet project. taken in Texas by @woolneedlethread

More dumplings coming to tonight’s subscriber-only drop, including one of the chickens that was so popular at DFWFF but that I didn’t get to finish in time. I didn’t have any sock sets cakes but you can see one holds my set of 10 minis with room to spare. They’re also great little makeup bags or organizers in a larger bag. And they’re machine washable. Sign up now so you don’t miss out! taken in Fort Bend County by @woolneedlethread

Subscribers: new bags arrive Tuesday evening! Included in the group will be these zipper knitting or crochet project bags. Some favorites of mine are the now extremely rare knitting Ghastlies, and the teacup kitties! The drop will start at 7pm CT. And I’ll have more on the way very soon - I just don’t want you all to wait any longer. taken in Texas by @woolneedlethread

Sometimes I’m really surprised when a beautiful bag doesn’t find a home at Fiber Fest, and this one surprised me. It’s so gorgeous, and that waxed canvas from @georgiagirlstitches feels so good- I really thought it would go. It didn’t, so it will be in my next new product drop! I’m finishing up listings and photo editing, so I think it will happen next week. Subscribers have first access so please sign up - link in the usual place.

It has leather grab handles and pocket trim. And although the fabric is big and bold, the section here on the outer side is somewhat lower key.

Lower key at least than the back, where all fun is! Zoom in to see double riveted and quadruple sewn strap attachments - this can hold your laptop and books one day, and your biggest project the next!

Wipe clean waterproof canvas interior with 2 slip pockets outside and four inside, and a zip pocket outside and inside. The top closes with an open-wide zipper. taken in Texas by @woolneedlethread
