March 2023: What's In My Knitting Bag?

[@orapronobis2149]

September 26, 2024: Fist timer to your channel and first how you elevated knitting with the bag. The bag is on a great sale as of today. Definitely securing one to hold a project on the go with style. Your bags are beautiful. I am investing in that portable scale, which before in the beginning and stil a novice, is a must tool to stop purchasing too many extra yarns! This is a channel for me with the organization that is so pleasing to the eye. I also put in a small pouch with tea, cash and hard candy or other smalll treat. Don’t you agree we always say “oh just one more round” then hours later😊 Oh do not excuse for printing a pattern. I have tried digital ones but not working for me. So I print and put in a document protector to take along and put notes on it. This maybe excess but will print 2 copies of a pattern I know will use again. I put all the notes on the clean one in a notebook. This is a game changer for me.

Oh my goodness! I have to do one of these too. I love seeing what people have in their knitting bags.

[@ThePineCottage]

Let me know if you do! I wanna see!😂

[@sharib5922]

As women we are all curious to look into someone’s home 🙂

[@christenagervais7303]

I keep a small pkg of dental floss in my notions for when I'm knitting complicated patterns for lifelines. I put it in the keyhole of my Knitters Pride needle and knit it through! ✌❤🇨🇦

[@ThePineCottage]

Thanks for the tip!! ❤️❤️

[@loreliemiller628]

What a great idea to have a soap in your bag, going to put one of my many handmade soaps in mine!! Love your calm sweet personality

[@ThePineCottage]

You won’t be sorry! It makes everything smell scrumptious! 🤗 Thank you so much!🥰

[@melissac6836]

It sounds like we may knit similarly & yes, I have poked holes in my finger with Hiya Hiya Sharps! I use 9" circs for sock knitting, but I do like the Knitters Pride Zings for dpns when I work on the toe. I enjoyed this video - I'm so curious too!

[@ThePineCottage]

Oh wow! Sorry to hear about your poor holey fingers! 😮 Thanks for watching, Melissa!❤

[@joscraftjourney6654]

the Kitchener stitch little reminder is great.

[@AlpacaMyYarn]

Ive always seen those tuft woolen at LYS and didn’t realize how to use them 😂 I just thought bar of soap to wash hands. Now I have to go get one for this purpose!

[@ThePineCottage]

😂Love this!

[@nancyhoffman2121]

This was perfect for me. My husband bought me a knitting bag for my birthday so now I have an idea of what all should go in one.

[@Anotherprairiegirl]

Love your podcast as I have connected with you on many levels…#1. I love knitting…#2.I value prayer in my life …and #3. I am a RN and I have recently retired from a job which allowed me to work very closely with new moms and babes and lactation. ❤️🇨🇦

[@ThePineCottage]

Dee! I love this!! ❤️ Thank you so much for being here!🥰

[@jillpohren4801]

Hi Nicole, it's always nice to see you! I used a video tutorial (maker Erica Arndt) and made needle holders for my interchangeables and DPNs but have seperate ones for the cords and for the tips. I'm with you re: the lightbulb shaped stitch markers - they work for knitting and for crocheting so what's not to like? I will take your tips on bullet journaling to heart - right now I'm at the stage you described with notes books everywhere and in disarray. I'm trying to utilize KnitCompanion for patterns but paper and ink are still my go to 🤷🏽‍♀. Thanks for a fun episode!

[@ThePineCottage]

Hi Jill!! 🤗 Oh, I can’t wait to hear how you like bullet journaling!

[@tatersprecious5827]

I love that KZbin suggested this video today. Also, let me tell you how much I was laughing when you said, "Red and black: that combination hurts my head." And I was just sitting here looking at your red and black flannel. LOL!

[@ThePineCottage]

Thanks for being here!❤️ 😂🤣Someone else mentioned that too…it’s actually orange and dark green. 😉🥰

[@teresabecker1078]

I enjoy your videos and appreciate your simplicity. Thank you

[@ThePineCottage]

Thank you, Teresa!❤️

[@PlasticSun17]

Loved getting a detailed look inside your knitting bag! I relate to a lot of what you shared and I feel so honored to be your main stitch marker supplier 🥰 Also, you said my name right which is so rare 😂 Looking forward to your next episode!

[@ThePineCottage]

Yay! 😂 With my name spelled like it is, I get called all kinds of things, so I wanted to try to get it right!❤ Thank you so much for watching, and I hope lots of others find their way to your shop! 😊

[@birchandlily]

So organzied! Loved this video, gave me some great ideas for my notions.

[@ThePineCottage]

Thanks, Amanda! 😊 I’m glad it was useful!❤

[@Nickyknits]

I completely get what you were saying about wondering how people decorate etc. I walked past a house a few days ago and they had an old phone box in their front garden. My immediate reaction was if that's in their garden, what is in the house 😂

[@ThePineCottage]

🤣

[@SewKnitee]

I think this isb the 3rd video of yours that popped up for me and wow...... the similarities! I'm a minimalist, tight knitting nurse, that loves earl grey (as a london fog). We watch almost all the same podcasts and like them for the same reason. I'm newer to knitting but have been crocheting forever! There are more, but wow!

[@ThePineCottage]

That’s so wild! 🤗 I only ever drink my earl grey as London fog (with almond milk and honey)! 😂 So glad you came for a visit! ❤️

[@noreenlou]

I definitely enjoyed

[@ThePineCottage]

I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!❤

[@stephaniebernard2271]

There’s another word for your curiosity….it’s called being nosey! 😂🤣 I suffer with the same curiosity! 🤭 I too am old school and like to use pen and paper…I thought it was my age! 😂 I’ve only just found your channel! My of knitting podcast/vlogs is growing at a rapid rate! 🫣

[@ThePineCottage]

You’re right, Stephanie! I AM nosy! 🤣 Thanks so much for watching!❤️

[@knitandtoelle]

Just found your channel, love your content! I’m a young mom and also have no knitting friends IRL so I love watching knitting podcasts. I relate with basically everything you talked about 😂I prefer plain and simple accessories, chiagoo fan, and a Christian as well! Look forward to seeing more videos! ☺️

[@ThePineCottage]

Thank you, Christiana, and welcome!❤ I love meeting people with common interests…that’s the best part of this whole social media thing!😂 So happy to meet you!

[@tacianasimmons2838]

Loved seeing your knitting bag … it gave me some ideas for mine also … like the scale. I never thought about having a mini scale but I could’ve used one a few times ❤

[@gayleklein8890]

This was most enjoyable! I am all about COLOR!! I have one daughter who is all about the neutrals, and I wonder where she came from!! I like your streamline organization of your knitty goodness! Me, I have different project bags that sit around my chair in my knitting room (retired special Ed teacher here) and I just grab the bag I want to knit on while out. My daughter bought me a huge MK bag, but sadly, it just seems to heavy for me. Isn't it great that we can be so different! Glad to see that you are a sister in Christ! Blessings!

[@ThePineCottage]

Yes!! I love to celebrate our differences!❤ I used to have a big basket filled with project bags of WIPs, but it gave me anxiety knowing they were sitting there. 😂 I love you found your system that works best for you!

[@gayleklein8890]

@@ThePineCottage right?! You do you!! Love it! So interesting to me how different things make people more comfortable!

[@gayleklein8890]

Just found your podcast and really enjoyed it!! Only good thing about the sick season is knitting! Well done! Looking forward to more!!

[@ThePineCottage]

Thank you, Gayle, and welcome!❤ Yes, extra knitting time is always a plus!😂

[@staceyburley195]

Loved seeing what is in your bag. Also, your bag is gorgeous! I prefer Hiya Hiya to Chiagoo, but the sharpness helps me with my tight stitches, and I prefer the texture of the needles.

[@ThePineCottage]

Thank you, Stacey! ❤ To be fair, I have not tried Hiya Hiya…I may have to at some point to compare. 😊

[@marcysalo4499]

Thanks for sharing what's in your knitting bag. You are NOT wrong about super sharp needles putting a hole in your finger! Super fun coming across you as I was searching out new knitting vlogs. I also have a lot of curiosity about how other people do things - decorate their homes, etc. :) Anyway, happy knitting... looking forward to seeing more from you.

[@Wonderfullyknittedemily]

I loved this! I’m also a chiaogoo girl, I got their interchangeable set and haven’t looked back, I love them so much!

[@ThePineCottage]

Yay Team Chiaogoo! 😂 Thanks for watching, Emily!❤

[@HeyItsAmes]

I keep my fixed needles in the original plastic/vinyl packaging. Then they are easy to find a size and I just keep them on their side like a file system.... Like file folders in a row. I can just flip through and find what I need

[@ThePineCottage]

That's a great idea! ❤I failed at that system almost immediately because I threw away the packaging right away.😢

[@ACG321]

I knit the same, tight and push off my index finger. I bought a fixed needle organizer from Jimmy Beans Wool, and it’s just ok. I have the same case from knit picks but for my crochet hooks and I keep my Chiaogoo case open inside the faux leather case. (JBW also bought out Madelinetosh so they don’t have that case anymore.)

[@ThePineCottage]

Oh wow! Your comment is full of good information! 😂 Thanks so much!❤

[@ACG321]

@@ThePineCottage I used to work at Jimmy beans and their store is the best in my area for supplies. Now I’m in healthcare too lol Clinical Lab Assistant aka phlebotomist that also has to do their own sample handling.

[@miliniumo147]

Obviously we're all nosy here otherwise we wouldn't be here trying to see what's in your knitting bag 😂 I think it's natural to want to see how other people's houses are decorated, I do the same thing a bit

[@ThePineCottage]

🤣

[@oursewgoodlife]

Enjoyed the episode! I’m also a Chiagoo fan and use their interchangeable needles. I love DPNs too for socks. Since I always use 2.5mm DPNs on my socks I did splurge on a set of Signature DPNs. I do have to be careful with them though because I also push the needle with my index finger. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m up in Northern Ohio. I didn’t realize that Tuft Woolens is an Ohio based company!

[@ThePineCottage]

A fellow needle pusher! 😂 I’m in Northeast Ohio…maybe we’re neighbors! 😂 TW is in Southern Ohio, although I’m not sure exactly where. Thanks for watching!❤

[@oursewgoodlife]

I’m in the greater Cleveland area. We finally had some snow last night. I don’t work today so hoping I can squeeze in a bit of knitting.

[@ThePineCottage]

@@oursewgoodlife Enjoy your knitting time! 🥰

[@noelleparris9451]

I found your comment about the red & black color combo funny because aren't you wearing a flannel shirt that has those colors in it? I like your organization, and thanks for sharing your choices! (I'm a writer so I keep a project/idea journal as well. But I don't take it with me - I write in it usually at the end of the day or following morning.)

[@ThePineCottage]

Haha! Actually…it’s orange/rust and dark green. 😉 Thanks for watching! Love that you love to journal too! ❤️

[@kvopera]

I was wondering what brand scale you have in your bag?

[@ThePineCottage]

I’m not sure of the brand…I just searched “portable scale” on Amazon! 😂

[@kristytaylor9320]

Hi, just watched your video. What size is your bag?

[@ThePineCottage]

I will have to check for you, but it probably will tell you in the Etsy link listed in the description box! 😊

[@nancyistenes7643]

I just found you. Please introduce yourself more and where in Ohio you are from.

[@ThePineCottage]

Hi Nancy! Welcome! ❤️ Thanks for the suggestion…I will do that in my next video (planning to record today). 😊
