The bright sparks over at Crafteroo organised a challenge with a twist at the end of January, the premise being that members were paired up and had to then produce a gift item utilising both partners’ crafting skills. I was paired up with the very lovely Debbs and we decided that she would make a brooch which could be pinned onto a knitting bag that I’d make but which could also be removed and used elsewhere. This is the final result (with apologies for the not fantastic photograph!)
The bag will be going into the Comic Relief shop on Folksy which is stocked with donated handmade items from Crafteroo members – please have a look! There are some absolutely gorgeous items there from some really talented crafty people.
So what do you think? Would you buy it?

Vonnie, I love the bag and the brooch… but my favorite thing in the photo is the flannel PJ bottoms. I, myself, am a HUGE fan of the yoga pants as loungewear, but I can understand not wanting to fork out $80 for maternity pants when you can get the same comfy effect for a fraction of the cost.
Meanwhile… I am @ work, but IRBK (I’d Rather Be Knitting… my version of WWJD)
Hi, just wondering if you are going to be making any more of these bags? I love the design and really want to buy one! I used to be steeps on LJ…
Hey Charlotte!
I can make one if you’d like – just let me know what kind of size you’re looking for and what colours you like
Hello!
Ooh size wise I’m not really sure. I’ve only just started knitting so don’t have much – just big enough for a couple of pairs of needles and one project? The one in the picture looks good!
I like pinks, purples, black… Is that ok?
Do you take Paypal?
Thanks!
