It’s almost Small Business Saturday and if you’d like to try a lovely handmade (by me!) bag from a small business, I’d appreciate it if you considered mine. Here’s what a few recent customers have said:

Hello knitters - the first batch of bags in my Holiday Collection is available now & more are coming for subscribers tonight (for everyone Saturday). There are ho-ho-ho & non-holiday bags & gifts at different price points on my website. I’d be honored if you had a look. #knitsky 🧶 #smallbusiness

My shell cottage socks for #showmeyourknits #socktober - made before I knew better. Realized this day my knees are too old to ski. The people beside me: “what is she doing? Is that…is that a SOCK? Ohmygod look - she’s making a HEEL - an actual HEEL!” 😂🧦🧶 Deets in alt text.

I love a Zick-Zack scarf. So easy, and it makes all the pretty bits and pieces in my stash look so fancy 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting 🧶

It’s #wip week at #showmeyourknits and here is my Poet Tee by Sari Nordlund in West 7th Wool 50/50 DK, color Emo Shadeshifter. I don’t have enough to finish so I’m waiting for them to restock to do cuffs and neck. #knitting #knitsky #knit 🧶

The DFW Fiber Fest is just over a week away - it always seems like it’s so far off and then 💥 it’s here! I’ve been hard at work - here are a handful of the metal frame knitting project backpacks I’m bringing. #knitsky 🧶 #knitting

For sweater week at #showmeyourknits - my Garden Gate. Pattern by Jennifer Steingass, La Bien Aimée Merino DK in Peerie Voe and a mystery red from my stash. #knitting #knitsky 🧶

Fiber Fest is almost here! The large backpacks always go fast. They have 8 (!!) pockets, a reinforced waxed canvas base, gorgeous prints, & leather trims. I tried to make loads this year so there should be some coming to my website after DFW Fiber Fest.

Large frame bags have tons of space, a cute shape, reinforced hand-waxed canvas bases & waterproof canvas linings. Four pockets inside, & the handles are double sewn & riveted for strength. They make the best knitting project bags! Coming to DFW Fiber Fest on the 19th! 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #handmade

Sometimes I’m lucky and find fabric samples from designers. They’re small but the fabrics are gorgeous and I’ve found they make the cutest pyramid pouches. Perfect for tools/notions, a drop spindle, or even a single-skein project. Coming to @dfwff.bsky.social 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #handspinning

Playing with colors is my happy place. 😌
This is one of the waxed canvas collage knitting project bags that I’ll have at the DFW Fiber Fest next month. 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #crocheting #handmade

The DFW Fiber Fest is just a few weeks away & I’ve been working so hard on all the gorgeous bags. If you’re going, I’d appreciate it if you’d consider one. If not, I’d so appreciate you considering joining my email list for first access to new bags after the Fest. Thank you! #knitsky #knitting 🧶🧶

Here are a few of the dumpling pouches coming with me to the DFW Fiber Fest next month. They’re great for a sock knitting project, your notions & tools, or for makeup, cords and chargers- anything you want handy in a larger bag. And they’re machine washable and all made by me. 😊 #knitsky #knitting 🧶

For baby week at #showmeyourknits - the Spanish Dress by Debby Bliss knit in Debby Bliss Ecobaby with a Liberty of London Tana Lawn. First pic when I finished it, second pic a year later. #knitting #knitsky 🧶🧶

Preparation for the DFW Fiber Fest is nearly finished- only a month to go now! In addition to this year’s new styles have the classics - like these XL zipper project bags. Wide open tops, water resistant bases, pretty fabrics. 🧶🧶🧶 #knitsky #knitting #crocheting

The indulgence I allow myself every @dfwff.bsky.social is self-striping sock yarn from Must Stash Yarns. Here I am taking awkward photos of my littles and me with our new socks. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knitting 🧶
August 17, 2025 at 2:00 PM
Here is the second of the new designs I’m bringing to #dfwff this year - framed backpacks! A little larger than the small frame bags, a little smaller than my large backpacks. Perfect for smaller projects or as an everyday bag! 🧶 #knitting #handmade #framebag #projectbag
August 8, 2025 at 8:43 PM
I’m bringing 3 new designs to the DFW Fiber Fest this year! Here is the 1st - the large waxed canvas tote tipped over sideways to make the bottom easier to reach. Same size, just landscape now. Reinforced base, waterproof inside, raised closure, rings for a long strap. 🧶🧶

I have another for shawl week at #showmeyourknits - a Swallowtail in black mohair. A very dear older friend bought this yarn to make a shawl for her daughter and it got the best of her. She asked me if I could do it for her so I took it on. #knitting #laceknitting

Shawl week at #showmeyourknits ? Yes please. This is the Thunderbolts and Lightning Shawl by Stephen West that was part of the 2020 Yarnalong. We lived in Italy then and as soon as we were allowed to travel outside our own region we went to Venice (masks in public required then).

These are just a handful of the knitting and crochet project bags I’ll be bringing to the DFW Fiber Fest in September. I make everything myself and make them to last! Will you be there? 🧶🧶🧶

Another addition to #garterstitch week at #showmeyourknits - two of Cat Bordhi’s (may she rest in peace) #fingerlessmitts - the Zen Garden (purple) and Mountain Gauntlets. I get hot hands but cold wrists and used to work in a cold office - these got/get lots of wear.
July 1, 2025 at 3:56 PM
Another for #garterstitch week at #showmeyourknits - a little blanket I made while waiting for my son to arrive. Knit from leftovers mostly, my own design.
June 30, 2025 at 2:12 PM
For #garterstitch week at #showmeyourknits a bootie I’ve made so many times - Saartje’s Bootee’s - here on my baby girl’s tiny foot, with the Garter Stitch Jacket with Vent.
