Size is Relative

A lot of fellow knit-bloggers have been blogging about a new type of cool knitting bag. If wasn’t originally designed to be a knitting bag; but it definately has become one. After seeing it for the 4th or 5th time, I couldn’t resist* anymore.
I thought it would be nice to use a smaller bag than my backpack on the way to and from work on the bus. Some of the bags I’ve made to hold knitting are too nice and not as durable as I’d like for day to day travel. I ordered it on ebags (they had a free shipping offer), and it arrived today (4 days early I might add). Well, it’s a bit bigger than I expected. Here it is sitting next to the backpack it would have replaced:
Hm. Not exactly "small" is it? They do give measurements on the website; but it’s always hard to tell how big something really will be. I guess I should have measured my backpack first to see how big it was! (The colors in the photo are a tad bit off. Backpack is red, and the bag is a "Cinnamon" color which does have a lot of orange in it)
I’m not too unhappy - this bag is large enough to hold a sweater in progress. In the picture the backpack is leaning against the couch, but the new bag isn’t. The whole inside of the walls of the bag are lined with pockets. Perfect for storing your knitting pattern, and Storage Containers in, leaving the center of the bag free to hold yarn and the knitting project. I’m definately going to order a smaller one though - I’m hooked!
The other bonus with this bag - it has an anvil on it. Knit Foundry anyone? :)
*I have a thing about bags. I love different bags and containers. It’s garnered me quite a collection!

What a great advertising tool for Knit Foundry! Looks like a very versatile bag. I like it.
