decisions, decisions
this is a dangerous time of night for me. i wander the internet, usually reading blogs and occasionally i end up linking to something i have seen on one of the blogs. tonight's product? timbuk2 bags. lately i have been thinking about the perfect knitting bag. i currently use my felted tote from the first SnB book, but i am craving something new. you see i am a handbag addict. i can admit it. knitting has given me even more of a reason to purchase bags. tonight i am pondering the need for a couple of different bags.
i am no stranger to timbuk2 bags. i was introduced to them shortly after purchasing my ibook in 2002. my office mate at the time told me how great they were and i promptly scored a messenger bag on ebay. i still have it and love it. it doesn't get used often anymore, but i am not ready to part with it. instead i think it needs a friend. what do you think?
the tri-colored bags are the ones up for knitting bag consideration. i think i am liking the shape and colors of the pink/orange/brown. the other bag isn't in stock in the size i want and i am an instant gratification gal. hmmm....
the handbag in the bright green is calling to me as well, but my other twin (i am a gemini after all) says to go for the more conservative khaki. ok, so this one isn't a knitting bag. but it is only $60! that is a steal! and for the first time in a long time i did not fall in love with anything from the current kate spade collection. so really it would be a BIG savings! ok, ok, enough rationalizing! i'll sleep on it.
in real knitting news, the entrelac is coming along. i am still not loving the way i decided to do the color, but i know i will grow to like it. the stole is still really fun to knit. especially in the kureyon. tomorrow i should have more to show.
i also picked out the color for the cape. my conservative side won out on this one. basic beige.
i figure this will allow more flexibility. i was intrigued by a red shade, but thought it would be too bold for such a 'big' item. so tomorrow i will cast on for this. i swatched tonight and i am on gauge, but was reminded that i am not a big fan of knitting with homespun. it catches like crazy!
well my ibook and electric blanket are calling. i have been watching a few episodes of
each night before bed. i love this show!

I love those stripey bags! They look perfect for knitting... nice and roomy! I'd personally go for the green striped one, but if they don't have the right size then pink stripey will do just fine!
I love timbuk2 bags!! I NEED the Paris one that they have out right now! Have you seen it? I just saw the solid green bag at the Apple store and they had it in Candy pink! Super cute! I'm a little partial to the stripey ones, since I have a pink/red/gray messenger myself. Go for it!
those bags are adorable! now i have something new to covet. do you know how big the khaki one is, though? there are no sizes listed on their site for that style..."marina," i think it's called?
