1. whether you’re doing a custom-made bag, or buying, GO FOR A LIGHT-COLORED INSIDE. this can be the lining, or the entire bag (in which case it might get dirty easily, which wouldn’t be so great). the thing is, it’s WAAAAAY easier to find stuff in a bag that has a light-colored inside. try it. you’ll see what i mean.

2. you could just get a smallish gym bag for the purpose.

my own needles/notions thingy for ‘the road’ is one of those pencil holders you stick into a 3-ring binder. it has clear plastic on the inside; a wacky pattern on the outside. it is not floral, and it was an emergency purchase for a long train trip. mine is a weird shade of red. i was thinking that’d be good because i don’t have any red notions. then i figured out that the cable needle i was going to be using on my trip is *exactly the same shade of red*. but that wasn’t even a problem. i use one side of the fold for notions, the other for needles, and never the twain shall meet. but my own ideal would have been something a bit more rigid, to prevent needle breakage.

anyway. enough brainstorming on the knitting bag. it’s friday. i’m going home to my sweetie.

I've been listening for a few weeks now, catching up on all the past podcasts. What I REALLY appreciate is when you talk sometimes about the blow-by-blow frustrations of a project. Also, thanks for taking the time and trouble to get some really, really terrific interviews. I like it when you mix it up, sometimes having the "all Guido show" and sometimes talking with others who have gone professional (in one way or another) with this hobby. I'm a definite fan - Please keep it up! Guido – thanks for all your hard work on a GREAT podcast! I’ve been listening for a few weeks now, catching up on all the past podcasts.
