knitting progress & what's in my shoe box...

eliots kick ass hat is coming along nicely!

i have a few more rows before starting the crown decrease

the quince & co yarn has some stretch to it &

with it being 100% american wool

it will be nice & warm

i love the color & the texture of the quince & co yarn

when it's completed (this week for sure!)

hopefully it will have been worth the wait for the hubs

awwww......the notions box....

i believe it's an old tupperware container

i glued a cut off straw in the corner to hold the appropriate hook or dpn

makes for a quick find when trying to fix something

the contents...

the usual gauge thingy, markers in all shapes & sizes

notepad, a few quarters for snacks or coffee, shop cards & the bands of currents projects,

a eraser, crochet hooks, (stored in a travel case for a toothbrush), tape measure, finger cots, 

 row/stitch counter, sticky flags, lotions, dental floss (i use floss for life lines)

 little container of various needles,

cable needle, scissors, band-aid, pens, pencils, highlighter, back scratcher, (my littles love this!)

yarn of my current project

 i love seeing what's in notion boxes, sewing boxes and peoples purses...

does this make me weird????

my knitting basket....reminds me of the basket my granny had

it folds up so you can carry it by the handles

it has a little zippered pocket inside that i stick a few notions in when on the go

care to share the contents of your  knitting bag, box or tin?
