Well it has happened

Mar 17, 2007 17 Replies

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

DAB spun a FINE 'yarn':

Heeheeeeeeeeeeeee, Donna, welcome to the sockknitting BUG, grin! I know what bags you're referring to, they're put out by Lantern Moon methinks... shiny silky/satiny bags?? Noreen

Oh didn't think of that.

LOL no I am not handy with a sewing machine.....but one of my sisters is.

Yes they are...ok will go search again

Thanks!

Welcome to the world of socks LOL I just made my first pair of opal socks to and was really transfixed by the patterns emerging :o)

I'm PRETTY sure KnitPicks and Patternworks has 'em! :D Noreen loving evil enabling..... heee hee

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.

Oh heck I forgot to check there.....I did find a bag that is interesting but the 30 dollar price tag gagged me it's called Knit Knack Sack

would spend it but not unless I could see and touch it first.

Hummmm that is neat and the price is right too

Thanks! Donna

Good luck Donna. I believe most of that knit socks enjoy them, knit on and have fun.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Oh my! There'll be no holding you now ;-) It's a good feeling to master a new craft and you'll keep finding interesting hints and tips with it for years to come. Well done.

Woohoo, Donna! We've got you now! I love knitting socks. And wearing them is even more fun!

Higs, Katherine

LOL thanks and I am sure I will be looking for guidance once I get the beginners socks finished.
