I love this bag. It is big enough to hold more than 2 of my projects at a time. It has many small pockets(2 transparent in the front and +4 on the inside) for miscellaneous knitting and crocheting accessories and many needle pockets that you won't need to buy an extra needle case. I have to admit I could not find a better alternative for my knitting and crocheting projects.

I placed an order for this item Dec 8. While i noted that stock was low, there was still some present. They waited until Dec 15 to notify me that they had actually run out of stock and would not be able to fulfill my order. This barely left me enough time to attempt to find a replacement item for Christmas, and I'm not sure that it'll arrive in time yet, due to an interceding weekend etc. I do not understand why it took the vendor a full week to realize that they would not have enough stock to fulfill requests; in fact, their stock should be realtime informed by the placement of orders on Amazon. I am upset at this vendor in particular, and Amazon shares some of the blame of this failure, as they have chosen to represent the vendor as an agent. I will certainly not but from Craft World again, and I'm going to be cautious buying from any 3rd party vendor on Amazon's site, as they apparently cannot accurately represent the quality or reliability of the vendors that they present.

This is an excellent bag. The only problem is the bag will rest directly on the ground when full. Not usually a problem unless you take it places like pool side when the kids are swimming, or outside at the playground where the kids play or sporting events. Bag needs feet. Not big feet, just enough to keep the bag from getting dirty. Alternatively, like I do, carry around a small white trash bag spread it out, bag on top. not what I had in mind, but keeps bag clean and out of mud or chlorine puddles. I will order more of these for myself, my daughter and my niece, It keeps everything together, and as we are genetically challenged organization-wise, this is a great thing. Toss in my wallet and all my kids inhalers and epipens and I sometimes use it as a handbag. I highly recommend it. Can also be repurposed for a variety of tasks. Craft bag for kids, Toy bag for in the car, diaper bag for two week stay at grandma's. You name it, if it has small parts and needs to go somewhere, this bag could probably do it.

I just love this bag. Very organized. If I could give it 4 1/2 stars, this is it. High quality canvas. There is a one large single pocket on the outside that is the same width and height as bag made out of heavy plastic that can easily hold a pattern magazine. The other side of the outside bag, is 2 zippered bags, top and bottom, the same size as bag. On one side of the bag, in the inside, is 7 various sizes of pockets, made of canvas, to hold anything from long needles, rulers, pen, and maybe small scissors. The other side of the inside bag, is 6 fist sized pockets made of heavy plastic. These hold many things from markers, needle protectors, cable hooks, etc. This is where the downfall is where I gave it a 4 1/2 stars instead of 5. The seams on the bottom sides of each pocket is NOT closed. They have this open for some reason but it serve me NO purpose as my things kept falling out of the pocket and to the bottom of the bag. SOLUTION: I turned the bag inside out so that I had access to the vinyl pockets. I got clear packing tape since these pockets are clear. I pressed the seam together and taped it. You cannot even tell that I did that and now I can have small loose things in the pockets and they do not fall to the bottom of the bag. This is a very easy remedy to fix the problem otherwise if you have small items, leave them in its original package before putting them in the pockets to keep them from slipping through the open seams to the bottom of the bag. I still highly recommend this bag. I only paid $23.66 w/o shipping here on amazon which was a great price. I'm actually thinking of getting another one just like the other reviewers say about having more than one project going.

This is a great bag for projects, epecially knitting! It has a pocket for just about everything so that you are never looking for all the bits and pieces that go with craft, knitting, or sewing projects. It folds flat so you can store it in a drawer or suitcase, and it comes with a shoulder strap so you can tote your project wherever you go! It is durable canvas and the plastic pockets, also very durable, are clear so you can see what is stored in them at a glance.

This is a wonderful accessory for me. It saves me time because I can see what is in the bag that I need,

This is a very nice holder for your extra accessories. I use it to hold a tape measure, stitch holders, foldable scissors, tapestry needles, circular needles and a copy of the knitting pattern. It works much better than the Ziplock bag I used to use and it just as compact and I can still see through the front to make sure I have everything.

I always have more than 1 crochet project going, so I wanted a place to store the yarn for my current projects. This can hang in any closet, is very easy to move around, and is definitely a space saver. I liked it so much, I bought another one for my best friend for Christmas - as she was the one who taught me to crochet! I highly recommend this product.

This book has an exciting collection of patterns to knit various styles og purses and handbags. Some are very uniqe and exciting to knit; I know because I've knit them already. Some projrcts are even feltable! Some ate very easy, others... Pretty difficult. There is something for every knitter; from the novice, to the most experienced professional. I highly reccomend it.

I intentionally got this book for a reference to different bag designs I was trying out at the time. I love the patterns of the many different bags that are featured in the book. And, I like that it has a section where you yourself can design your bag any way you want to.

I bought this book because I liked more than half of the patterns. It has a nice variety--book bags, messenger bags, a clutch, a tote bag, bags to knit, bags to crochet, dressy bags, casual bags, girly-girl bags, tomboy bags, easy bags and experienced knitter bags. My first project was the Knitting Bag. I'm a beginning knitter on the verge of being an intermediate knitter. After I figured out how to do the trinity stitch, this bag was a slam dunk. And, regardless of what the pattern says, this bag NEEDS to be lined to be useful. The instructions for the Knitting Bag were clear and correct. I planned to do the Lace Market Bag next but the lace pattern is SO HARD. It's teeth-gnashingly frustrating. Making a mistake in the lace pattern usually meant ripping out 4 rows and throwing the bag across the room. It requires full focus and no knitting while watching TV. WAAAAAY too much work for something I'm gonna stuff groceries in. I went with the Saturday Market Bag pattern available for free on Ravelry instead (and knocked that bag out in 8 hours). I'm currently knitting the Fair Isle Book Bag. It's not particularly interesting to knit, but I like the bag and it's a great way to learn Fair Isle. The instructions are fiddly but accurate. Aside from the patterns, the thing I like about this book is that it talks about how to design a bag--shapes, how to construct a sturdy bag--all sorts of considerations for bag design. So after I complete the Boot Bag (featured on the front cover), I'm gonna design my own bag!

If you are looking for something to make in the latest knitting trend, well here is a nice selection of knitted bags. There are bags knitted with cotton to felted wool. I especeially like the cover bag and can't wait to knit it. Nice addition to my knitting library collection.

This book is full of super cute and trendy bag/purse projects. Out of all the knitting books dedicated to handbags, this by far is the best one I've found yet. I can sincerely say I like just about every single pattern. I made one of the bags for my best friend and she said she gets compliments all the time. One note: I'm in my twenties and think these are adorable. Granted if you are older or just simply have more traditional taste, you may not like some of these patterns but I find them all to be just the right mix of trendy, sophisticated and classic.

The problem with Eva's novelty yarns: Gray Flannel purse, for an example, calls for 1 ball of One Line Nobile how much is one ball? Moreover, I have gone to two yarn stores and both the owners have never heard of One Line Nobile; I tried finding it on-line no luck. If Eva wants to use novelty yarns in her purses she should have yarns that can be easily found or explain what can be substituted. In addition how much yarn is needed one ball is not enough information. Most of her purses are using size 15 needles but the circular needles length can be 16" to 29". These purses can be very expensive to make. Moreover, I found the purses instruction difficult to follow. A lot of the purses are weird looking or just out of date. I found only two purses I want to make. Save your money and don't buy this book.

This is an awesome book. The patterns are easy to follow and the purses are fantastic. I liked it so much I also bought Pursenalities Plus!

This is the best felting book there is out there. It was my first felting book and I have bought several others but this is still the best. I bought it this time to give as a gift to a teenager who wanted to make a felted bag.

I wish the yarns used were more accessible to those not fortunate enough to have a yarn shop in the area and have to depend on the chain stores like Michael's that have a very limited selection or mail order which can be pricy. I know substitutions can be made but the yarns have to be researched and I guess the projects haven't inspired the effort, bar one or two. But the instructions are well writted and the pics are clear. I guess it's just a matter of taste.

If you haven't yet tried a felted project, do it now with one of these great patterns. The patterns are relatively simple and easy to understand and offer a nice variety of different shapes and sizes. As always, feel free to use different color combinations. Remember when we didn't want our wool sweaters to shrink? Now we deliberately shrink wool projects and get some great results. Step-by-step felting instructions are included so if you haven't yet tried a felted project, grab some wool yarn (not superwash) and make some purses or bags during the long cold winter evenings. I would definitely recommend this as a wonderful addition (Christmas present maybe?) for every knitter's library.

Wonderful selection of bags to create. I've completed three basic bags and was looking for more stylish patterns - this book fits the bill. Also introduces some dry felting designs to add to the bags. Anxious to get started on some of them.

The patterns in this book are nice, cute, interesting but very difficult to knit because of the many mistakes in the patterns. There is a web site you can go to for corrections but with so many on a page it made it even more difficult.

This little book is power packed with ideas for purses, felted and not. I've never seen a knitting book with so many cute and stylish patterns. I will probably be making most of them.

This is a great pattern book, if you love knitting handbags...this is the one. Many different styles, you will get lots of use from this book....strongly recommend.

In this book you recieve complete instructions for making several different types of bags. There are bags for evening, weddings, carry-alls, and backpacks. I made 4 bags for Christmas gifts and since I came back from visiting I have plans to make at least 6 more bags from this book for gifts. The instructions are mostly clear and easy to follow, however one needs to pay attention to measurements as one mistake I made on my first attempt at a backpack was I misread the length of an icord and made it 4 foot instead of 4 yards. This resulted in my having to order an additional skein of yarn to complete the project. I have yet to complete the project I got the book for as I don't have the yarn for it. It is the fulled entrelac bag that I plan to use as a knitting bag. One other problem I encountered is that there is not a listing of places to purchase the various miscellaneous hardware items needed to finish the bags. For instance, some of the bags require a magnetic clasp and gormets, and there is no listing of places to purchase these types of items. This book has provided me with several hours of knitting pleasure.
