I have been hoarding these magazines long enough...now it's time to start making the stuff! I am starting with Miss Bennet's Beaded Bag (from Jane Austen Knits, 2011) simply because I thought it would be the perfect project bag for my Jane Austen Knits projects.
Years ago, I found this awesome sewing cabinet at a garage sale for $5. It was pretty beat up, but with some tender, loving care, I brought it back to life as a sweet KNITTING cabinet! (sorry for the crappy pictures...iPhones really should take better ones)
There's place for my needles and larger tools, places for my little knitting essentials and a nice big door to tuck away my project bags. Yes, I do need to have more than one project going on at the same time. I'm the same with books....don't judge. :)
Well, I don't have a free project bag for my Jane Austen Knits projects, so I figured why not make one from the magazines! And here we are. I am using Knit Picks Stroll Glimmer Fingering yarn:

with some sweet sparkly blue beads using Size 1 and 2 dpns. I have the bands completed for the top and have just started the body of the bag. Stay tuned, or better yet, get that pattern out with some yarn and needles and start it too!
