Men Who Knit Promoting and inspiring the art of knitting amongst men.

I have only one. I have a "bag" (bit more like a big, tall basket) with handles that is woven out of corn husks and lined with royal blue cotton which closes at the top with drawstrings. It's really nice looking and it keeps the cat out of my knitting. It also has a grommet for feeding your yarn through. The only downside may be that it only has pockets to fit a couple pairs of straights but that doesn't bother me since I keep my notions in a small case.

I have an unnecessarily huge Lion brand one from the near chain craft store; I bought 2 of the Men Who Knit ones from Cafe Press. I only ever have 2 projects going at once (to ensure they actually get done), so I prefer smaller ones..

I use the Tom Bihn knitting bag. It's called "The Swift" and it's GREAT!!! Designed in conjunctions with the folks at Knitty, it holds a TON of stuff, yet it isn't too bulky. I carry 2-4 projects and a small laptop in it.

I find the re-useable grocery bags work great...especially the ones I linked to, since they have "bottle holders" in them that can be used to hold things other than bottles...like yarn.

I don't know where I learned about it, but I found this fabulous knitting bag at Lowe's. It is a canvas toolbag with lots of pockets and shoulder strap. In addition, it has two small canvas bags with velcro that attach to the inside of some of the bigger pockets. It looks rather butch too.

I'm thinking of making one - I don't have anything yet and I'm getting tired of tripping over plastic bags filled with yarn/needles. I've seen some interesting roll pouches for needles, which look simple to make, and thought I'd see if I could find some really great fabric to use. I've also thought of just getting some wicker baskets and making liners for them. It seems most of the bags sold in yarn shops sell bags that have floral prints on them, and don't really appeal to me. If I end up making something I'll post photos.

I have three, two small sock bags that hold a skein of yarn, needles, scissors and the socks. I also have a larger one made from the same material as one of the smaller ones. They are made from beautiful animal prints that I purchased from Whitewillow on etsy.

Just my regular purse which is large enough to hold a whole sweater project.

Granted, it bulges obscenely past its normally slim appearance with a whole sweater in it, but it fits is the point I'm making here.

I have yet to find one with all the features I want. I've been using a plain tote, but it's really not sufficient. I use the messenger bag I take to work sometimes but again, not ideal and I hate having to switch between work stuff and knitting or trying to stuff them both in.
so I guess my answer is 1.5 heh
