Nantucket Diddy

The Nantucket Diddy Bag is my new favorite summer bag. It is indestructible. It holds huge quantities of yarn or a large project and all my knitting supplies in the pockets. The bag is reversible and opens completely flat when you need it to so you can see everything inside. I use it for my knitting, when I go to the beach, and my boyfriend (a mechanic) carries all his tools in the black one. This nifty bag now comes in some really great colors too.

My poem...

There was a bright bag from Nantucket
that slightly resembled a bucket
and in it was found pretty yarn by the pound,
more precious than gold in a bucket!

(Not too bad for an amateur, hmm?)

Cool Colors...



Style...



Character...

The Nantucket Diddy Bag is very strong; it was originally designed as a tool bag! And it is very cool.

Freeform Creativity

This week we are trying our hands at freeform knitting! This creative technique is very accurately described by Clara Parkes of Knitter's Review:

Freeform knitting is exactly like it sounds: Knitting without a pattern, beginning with a few small shapes and building from them in every which way until you have a totally unusual, intentionally uneven and texturally fascinating piece of fabric.

The new kits by hanzoncreativity enable people who have little or no previous experience with freeform knitting to create amazing accessories. And experienced crafters love the limitless options offered by these beautiful kits.

Dream Weaver Yarns features hanzoncreativity Bag Kits and Collar Kits that include EVERYTHING you need to create an artistic piece (including even needles and crochet hook if they are needed). Both kits are available in several pretty colorways.



Try freeform. It opens a creative door leading to endless possibilities, and endless ways to use your stash!
