I really do feel compelled to share my latest little bargain today as I know there will be a like minded knitter/crocheter out there who will appreciate this. This perfect wool stashing bag was snapped up at the weekend from Primark for a mere £6.
It is so right for carting my yarn around to my knitting groups and zips up to stop my sisters puppy dragging everything out. There are just the right amount of pockets for notebooks and a little mobile phone pocket. I think I prefer it to my Cath Kidston knitting bag, there is more room and no need to fold books and patterns.
Whilst I have issues with some of the ethics of these bargain shops, Mrs K would happily charge me £50 for such an item. I have issues with that too!
My new crochet bag is perfect and I love it so. Go buy.
Well done you on bagging (sorry) such a bargain!!
It's lovely and practical.

Very sweet, looks perfect for your travel projects. I really must come up with something to carry mine in.

What a great find, very similar to a Cath bag I agree! I have one of the aforementioned knitting bags and I do find it's a bit small at times - maybe I'll have to drop by Primark at the weekend :D

It's lovely! Yes, Mrs K can certainly push her luck with her prices. A x

I spotted that bag whilst in primark a couple of weeks ago and thought of CK immediately too.
It's very cute.

I liked it so much I popped in my local Primark today and snapped one up. They also do them in a pale blue with itsy little flowers on. Would make a great changing/pram bag for a baby. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely bag and what an absolute bargain ~ I sometimes have to practically sit on my CK one to close it so can see why this one would be perfect :O)

That's lovely and so perfect for a crochet bag. I have a severe case of the wanties now!

it's perfect!
I have been trying to 'rationalise' my own making bag and MUST TRY HARDER to reduce it to essentials and not carry everything with me.
