ZigZag Stitches on Etsy
While twittering one day, zigzag had posted a link for one of her items...I clicked on it and instantly fell in love with them! I love the variety of prints she uses and this is such a handy little set for knitters!

This is matching set of a Boxy Bag zippered pouch, and a Sock and Go knitting tools mini case. It’s great for any knitter who makes small items, especially socks. The Sock and Go case will fit inside the Boxy Bag, along with a small knitting project.

The exterior fabric is quilting cotton, designed by Kona Bay. The lining is a pink cotton print. Boxy Bag dimensions: Approximately 8 inches x 3.5 inches x 3.5 inches (20cm x 9cm x 9cm) The handle has a drop of approximately 5 inches (13 cm) The zipper opens at the top when the bag is hanging vertically, so the contents will not spill out. The zipper has a ribbon tab at each end, and a painted wood bead on a cord zipper pull. The interior of the bag is finished with overcast seams.

Sock and Go dimensions (with flap closed): Approximately 8 inches x 2.5 inches (20 cm x 6.5 cm) It is configured with two pockets, one of which is divided. The case has a layer of quilt batting to protect your needles, and stiff interfacing for stability. It closes with a button. Make your own travel knitting kit by adding the tools you need.

*The contents of the cases are not included. These items will ship flat. Each item is sewn with care in my non-smoking and pet-free home.

Tool of the Week! Fancy Edges with your Rotary Cutter!

Just a few weeks ago, I got the new Martha Stewart ergonomically correct rotary cutter! I've been using it to cut down a ton of fabric for my rag crafts! In addition to the cutter, I bought the scallop fancy edge as well!

Our versatile rotary cutting tool is perfect for making precise, sharp cuts and shapes in paper, vinyl, poster board, foam, felt, and more. Both the soft-grip handle and removable blade shuttle are ergonomically designed for comfortable use by both left- and right-handed crafters. This tool securely locks into the guide rail of our wide craft rulers. Look for Martha Stewart Crafts replacement straight-cut blade shuttles, as well as three interchangeable blade shuttles that create deckled, scalloped, and rickrack cuts.

• Blade guard automatically retracts when cutting
• Snap-on blade shuttle can be used with or without the handle
• Ergonomic soft-grip handle
• Designed to work with our wide craft rulers and self-healing cutting mats
