I mentioned in my happy things post the other day that I got myself a birthday present, which was this Evita XL project box, which I read about on Knitty.
Coke can for scale.You take the top off:
And when you loosen the cord, it opens up like the petals of a flower.
Lots of pockets inside.
My only quibble with the Knitty review is where they said it "has that fantastic leather smell." I do happen to like the smell of leather, but I can imagine there are plenty of people who don't, and not to be overly politically correct, but I think they ought to have considered that. Ah well.
I got it from Universal Yarn, and it was a bit of a splurge, so I was happy that they offered 10% off as a new customer. Send me emails if you want, to save me $19.50! And free shipping, thank you.
New toy!
Oh that is so cool! And happy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteThat's snazzy! I don't knit, but think it would be wonderful for carting around all sorts of things.
ReplyDeleteI also happen to like the smell of leather, but it can be overpowering!
And look at all that beautiful yarn inside already. Such happy/beautiful colours.
Happy happy birthday C! What a great looking bag that is, and how handy for you!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! That is such a fun and useful bag!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fun bag. I think if someone doesn't like leather or is vegan or whatever, they should probably consider an alternative bag! The leather MAKES IT!
