Knitty Gritty Biggy Project Bag
A knitting project bag that's made to last. This knitting project bag was created to be a simple, classic, and everyday project bag that ages beautifully and gets better with use. Designed and crafted in Athens, GA by Magner Co.
Dimensions: 23” x 12” x 6”
Pockets:
- Pattern Pocket - 10” wide x 6.5” tall with 3 solid brass grommets designed to hold folded patterns and allow for tangle free knitting on the go.
- 1 zipper pocket sized at 5.5”wide x 5.5” tall with a slot behind for quick access to phone/keys/etc.
- 3 slotted pockets sized at 2” wide x 5.5” tall for needles, sunglasses, etc.
Using the bag:
Cinch top drawcord design allows bag to really open wide during use (tip: leave the cords slightly cinched to create a yarn bowl - the slightly cinched top of the bag will stabilize it). Allows for a nice snug closure and will help keep contents in place and prevent things from falling out if it tips over while traveling. The cords can be tied after cinching for added protection.
The handles are designed to stay down and out of the way while in use, but can be rotated up for carrying. This also allows the bag to hang from your arm and knit on the go.
Materials:
- Standard Waxed Canvas*: Originally used by sailors to help protect against the elements, waxed canvas has a classic look, feel, and vintage charm that no other fabric can replicate. The wax also adds protection against water, i.e. spills!
- Dry Waxed Canvas: High thread count canvas with a water repellant finish. Drier and smoother hand with a clean aesthetic.
- Vegetable Tanned English Bridle Leather**: Typically used for belts, bags, high-end leather goods and accessories, equestrian gear, and much more. This is a vegetable tanned high quality leather that will soften and develop a beautiful patina with age. The backside of the leather handles are beveled - meaning they are run through a machine that rounds the back edges. This removes any sharp edges and makes the handles very comfortable and pleasing to touch.
- 100% Cotton Twill pocket lining

Please note - Waxed canvas is known for “craze marks” that occur with use. Many people love the vintage and classic looks, but it you want to return your waxed canvas to a smooth uniform surface you can apply heat with a hair dryer or toss the bag in the dryer for 2 minutes or so.**Due to the tanning process this leather starts off pretty stiff (like a real leather belt). To speed up the break in process of this beautiful leather apply a small amount of lotion to the backside and then just bend, twist, and roll it in your hands - It will wear in and soften immediately!
