Mamma's got a brand new bag

Or should that be Grandma? That's right, almost five months ago our family welcomed our first ever grandson/nephew into the world. This has inspired my mother to turn to knitting. And what self-respecting Grandma doesn't have a dedicated bag for knitting?

Being increasingly particular about how she wants her custom bags to look and work, she decided she wanted a zippered pocket but only on the outside - the inside didn't need any pockets. The fabric was chosen for its funky but slightly old-fashioned look - perfect for a grandma who still cycles every day, plays with the dog, and jumps up and down when she's really excited. 

 There should be a shoulder strap, but not one long enough to cross over the body, and it should be detachable.

And the closure in this case is a handy hex frame that you pop open and closed. Snazzy.

I'm not quite the knitter my mother is, but certainly am a little bit covetous of this bag. Then again, she's starting to think maybe it's too nice to save only for knitting...
