She wants to see my knitting bag innards???

Turtlegirl76 tagged me so I thought I would embarass um..try to tame my startitis, Knitting ADHD...non-adherence to one project unless the deadline is within a couple of days, hours, or minutes...

So here we go, she wants to see my knitting bag innards...um....er...which one!!! LOL! I dub this my WIP/Immediate stash corner!


You can see the O bag with my winder resting on top. Inside are Kyoto, voodoo wrist warmer 1 and part of 2, cotton fleece for my GG. (tub full of fabric, one of....er..not going to tell you ;). Behind in hobo chic bag (remember the knitting olympics...has SP goodies in there along with a patient one skein sockette) Purple cotton fleece resting on top of carpet bag in the bag...or should I say cotton bag! 3 cones of cotton with various small balls...can you say oneskein and M/D knitting...Black Bella Filati paper bag in foreground, cotton chenille for flower washcloths--told Sun. 4 or more needed by 9 June..Yikes.. Knitting bag thingy with wooden frame. Dulaan hats on top, Clapotis on stitch holders ...patiently waiting its turn, small tub of stitchmarkers. And the case behind it that you can't see well is my sewing machine carrier...filled with current WIP's extra yarns. But wait a minute..you wanted to see this.....

Larger paper Bella Filati bag (btw my not-so-local LYS!) with Green gable and pattern notes... Darling patient daughter's red/black striped socks in size 1's...ick!; Noni bag, and cutaway sweater.

This little tube of blue oriental fabric is a gifty from my SP6 Yarner! It fits a crochet hook perfectly..well even 2 of them along with my chacha and stitchmarkers, pieces of yarn, stitch holders, chibi, and pen! I am by no means as organized as Turtle girl!!


The lower bag is my xray animal humbug bag with various point protectors, and stitchmarkers. I participated in a few swaps for these...I am very well stocked, but a few more is always good, they make good jewelry too! ;)
Here is my corner of our huge 3 shelf bookcase my FIL made with mostly leftover wood from a fabric store (hehe....) it was ugly but I painted it sage green and then stained it. I had tried to do a grain effect...that sucked, so I just used a cheap black sponge brush, and if you didn't look close up...you'd never know that! Ok, top has 3 hatboxes with various cards/sp notes/ and ...um...some sock yarns..hopefully soon to be socks and other various supplies. The second shelf has my small library....4 or so books, 3 binders with patterns, and box with stitch marker/jewelry supplies. The rest of the bookcase belongs to hubby..

This is what I am most ...well...can you believe it. My needle storage...I think it is funny as I make them for everyone else LOL! In my defense, I do have them cut out... :) You can see my straights getting dusty, along with dpns and other goodies in the round vase and the tub to the right has supplies and circular needles.

So there you go...I tag whomever wants to take on this task!! :) Feel free to show us your secrets!! ETA: umm...hubby has the rest of the bottom 2 shelves and the other half of the top is our printer...hehe!

Yarn/dyeing/knitting pr0n tomorrow! Hubby is having a tendon released in his thumb, so nurse/chauffeur duties are needed tomorrow...yay, knitting time!

Gosh! G.o.s.h.! Now, that'd be items enough to start a whole yarn store! I absolutely enjoyed that peek into your knitting bags and -corners and -bookcases, there's such a lot of goodies there! It's very nice of you though to share a bit of your bookcase with your hubby - though it seems it's a pretty tiny space left for him! :) Great photos, thanks so much for sharing!

Wow, nicely done! Now, when are you going to take a break from your dyeing to go ahead and get your needle holders finished?
