Here's a little bag I was inspired to make. The inspiration came from Judith at Knitting Pattern Depot. Thanks Judith!
I loved the idea but wanted to use sock yarn for the bag. I've got a lot of sock yarn! This yarn is Lion Brand Magic Stripes in Jelly Bean. It took one day to decide what I wanted to do and two days to knit it...not straight knitting!
The pattern is from Lucy Neatby's Cool Socks, Warm Feet. It is the Mermaid sock with the wavy cuff (84 st. - second largest size on Addi turbo #1's). I added a hole in the last round of the cuff and first round of the fishtail pattern stitch**. I worked the pattern for 5 1/4 inches and then did the spiral toe decrease. The i-cord handle is 4 stitches wide.
I can put the sock in here too! Although the needles do poke through.
This would also make a really cute slip cover for a vase!
**Instructions for hole: On 3rd repeat of Rd 4: P6, P2tog (3x), P rest of round.
Next round: K2, yo, K2, K2tog, M2, yo, M1, K1, K2tog, *K2, yo, K2, K2tog* Repeat between asterisks for rest of round.

I really like that bag! I love having a tiny bag to carry socks or some other small project. My kids call them my 'woobies' because I always have them. Maybe I should make one like this! BTW I couldn't get your map of knit stores to work - can you send me the link? Also - you made a row counter at one time & I cannot find the proper link. I would like to make one, but I wanted to use your picture as a go by...
Hi Knitting Rose,
I am liking the bag. Now I just need one more for the other sock!
Here's the link for the knitting stores:

From this link you can click right on the map or use the square next to the map to pick a location. This map was made by someone's husband either on the knitlist or socknitter's list.
Here's the link for the row counter:

I'd be lost without my row counters.
Happy Knitting!
