Well it has happened

I got the sock bug.......purchased some Opal sock yarn last weekend and I had ordered a pattern Knitting Pure & Simple beginner's lightweight socks.....so I started em last nite and worked for 3 hours....it is exciting waiting to see what the color pattern reveals....anyway I am still on the leg part.....going round and round.

What I hope someone here can help me with is finding a online source for sock bags....they are pretty little drawstring bags that I have seen in magazines to use for sock projects, but doing a search was not fruitful.

Hope all are well and Happy this St. Patty's day

Check the camping department at your local non-Walmart big box store. Tent stakes typically come in a nylon bag of some sort and one can sometimes find new bags for sale.

Check also the luggage and cosmetics department for small bags.

Or, make your own if you're moderately handy with a sewing machine. Joann sells cord toggles for the drawstring. Cut yourself a round about an inch bigger in diameter than you want the finished bag to be. Sew on a rectangle that's 2" taller than the desired finished height, clip the round seam so it'll lie flat. Close the seam, add a rolled hem at the top and run in your drawstring. Total time invested about

20 minutes :D

Donna, Knitpicks sells sock bags. I know other places sell them but I can'find them in my bookmarks. Like Wooly said, bags for tent stakes work well. That is what I use. You can always add a carbiner clip if you want to be able to hang it from your waist.
