What I look for in a bag is at least one small pocket for cell phone, chapstick, bus fare, anything I don't want getting lost in the bottom of the main compartment.  I like pockets less than I like simple cloth deviders.  I usually have two categories of stuff in my bag, stuff that's always there (wallet, iPod, tissues, etc) and stuff I decided to haul around with me that day (novel, crafting, notepad) so even a single devider makes it easier to identify what's where.

One of my Christmas gifts was a set of those plastic "Niffty Knitter" looms (you know the kind where you wrap the pegs and loop the yarn over and presto a scarf!) because I had expressed the desire to learn how to knit.

So I made a couple simple scarves and hats for friends and family.  Now I really want to learn how to knit properly with needles and I was wondering how much a jump in difficulty level I'll be experiencing.  Obviously I know better than to buy my first needles and boldly decide I want to knit a sweater, I know it'll probably be some more simple scarves to begin with, but how hard is it to jump from making a scarf on the loom to making a scarf on needles?  (not that hard projects scare me, I adore difficult things)

You could possibly knit him covers for his golf clubs.  My dad is fussy about covering his drivers and appriciates soft covers.

I don't knit so much, but maybe a modified sock pattern would work?  Maybe a more skilled knitter could help you figure it out.

So cool!!!

*does happy dance*  tra-la-la, shake your tailfeathers (now I have to go make some tailfeathers to shake in celebration).

Oh. My. Cuteness!!!!!!!!

My hamster would not have put up with that whatsoever, but I wish he would've.  You're little Rosely looks fantastic, I bet she liked being a fashion maven.

I'm envious, I haven't got a craft room since I live with my parents.  But someday I'll have one, hopefully as lovely as yours!

Holy cow!  That is one hip bathroom!  Now I want to redecorate my bathroom.

That's so cute!  I'll have to keep this in mind for my first appartment (I can't stand my mom's ugly wallpaper scraps we have in our drawers right now.)

That is incredibly cute!  A suggestion for the black strip, you could take a scripty font in white and write "Hello?" on it or something like that.
